Recently retired criminal court investigator Benjamin, decides to write a novel based on a 25 year old unresolved rape and murder case, which still haunts him. Sharing his plans with Irene, the beautiful judge and former colleague he has secretly been in love with for years, Benjamin’s initial involvement with the case is shown through flashbacks, as he sets out to identify the murderer. But Benjamin’s search for the truth will put him at the center of a judicial nightmare, as the mystery of the heinous crime continues to unfold in the present, testing the limits of a man seeking justice and personal fulfillment at last. $8 general | $7 StudentS & SeniorS | $6 Film group & cinematheque memberS $1 of each admission goes toward our capital MeMbers Pay only $6.00 improvements, aimed at making your experience adMission buy a memberShip!
