DramaThriller

Three childhood friends, Martha, Walter and Sam, share a terrible secret. Over time, the ambitious Martha and the pusillanimous Walter have married. She is a cold businesswoman; he is the district attorney: a perfect combination to dominate the corrupt city of Iverstown at will. But the unexpected return of Sam, after years of absence, deeply disturbs the life of the odd couple.

VIBE

A suffocating atmosphere of past sins and present corruption. This film noir drips with fatalistic dread, exploring the dark consequences of ambition and betrayal. It's a slow, deliberate descent into a morally gray world where everyone has a secret.
