The Lady Confesses
I CONFESS! I PLAYED AT LOVE BUT MURDER WAS MY BUSINESS!
A noir-inflected crime drama built on betrayal, blackmail, and murder, where a wife's return from the dead upends a fragile romantic arrangement.
An estranged wife shows up after a nearly 7 years of disappearance -- thought to be dead, to prevent her husband from marrying his new love until someone kills her.
