Slow Burn
The truth is just a trick of light.
Directed by Wayne Beach
Produced by Longfellow Pictures, Sidney Kimmel Entertainment
A morally murky crime thriller built on deception and unreliable perception, where truth itself becomes a weapon in a high-stakes game of manipulation.
A district attorney is involved in a 24-hour showdown with a gang leader and is, at the same time, being manipulated by an attractive assistant district attorney and a cryptic stranger.
