Synopsis
Facing a deadline that threatens to end his career, a once successful filmmaker retreats to the solitude of a small New England island. There, weakened by a lack of inspiration and distracted by a bewitching woman, he steals the perfect script: a tale of cold blooded murder. Only later does he learn the story is true and he's the final act.
