How close can you get to a killer before you're too close?

CrimeThriller

In the late 1950s, British police officer Tony Aaron resigns from the force after sleeping with Hazel, wife of the man whose house he was supposed to guard. In his new job as a fake private investigator, he helps couples get divorces by photographing Hazel having "affairs" with the husband. When she is murdered during a job, Tony begins having an affair with the dead man's mistress, Angeline, while trying to prove his innocence.

VIBE

A smoky, morally ambiguous dive into betrayal and desire. This film feels like a rain-slicked street at midnight, full of shadows, secrets, and the lingering scent of regret. It's a slow descent into a tangled web of deceit.
