A New York reporter meets the widow of a film director and is asked by her to investigate his murder. HOwever her motives are not that simple and he is drawn into a web of murder, secrets and blackmail. This is a modern take on the film noir style of film making, but with a reporter rather than a private investigator. Yvonne Stahovski is good as the femme fatale character an the plot is convoluted in the film noir tadition but overall the plot is just not quite convincing.
