“A strange lie! A strange love!”

DramaCrimeRomance

Fugitive Chris Hale starts over in a small Midwestern town in Ohio, where he befriends Elaine Corelli, a kind-hearted heiress left disabled after a skiing accident. As love blossoms, Hale vows to change his ways, but escaping his past may mean one last job.

VIBE

A smoky, morally ambiguous tale of a drifter seeking fortune. It's a world of shadows and desperate gambles, where a chance at love might be the ultimate con. Feels like a classic noir dive into the American dream's underbelly.
