IN THE ANGRY TIDE OF THEIR LOVE...THE BACKLASH OF MURDER
Directed by Eugene Forde

A noir-inflected mystery where a chance encounter spirals into false accusation and marital suspicion, built on paranoia and moral entanglement.

A pair of detectives discover that Morland has been having business problems and no end of difficulties with his wife Catherine. The trail of clues leads to a surprising revelation.
