“His Wife... His Mistress... His Career... A Deadly Trap”
CrimeThriller
Harry Mitchell is a successful Los Angeles manufacturer whose wife is running for city council. His life is turned upside down when three blackmailers confront him with a videotape of him with his young mistress and demand $100,000. Fearing that the story will hurt his wife's political campaign if he goes to the police, Harry pretends that he will pay the men, but does not follow through.
VIBE
A grim, sun-baked L.A. noir where desperation breeds a suffocating tension. It's a cynical dive into the consequences of secrets, where every choice feels like a trap, and the air is thick with impending doom.
