“Everything points to... the Accused!”

DramaThriller

When college student Bill Perry grows inappropriately fond of psychology professor Wilma Tuttle and tries to rape her, her self-defense inadvertently kills him. Wilma then moves Bill's corpse to a nearby beach and makes his death look like the result of a cliff diving accident. But her guilt over the incident builds, and Lt. Ted Dorgan begins to suspect that Wilma knows more than she's letting on.

VIBE

A suffocating sense of dread permeates this noir thriller. The protagonist's carefully constructed world crumbles under the weight of her secret, creating a palpable tension that grips you until the very end.
