There s a murky tenuous balance between reality and fiction;
particularly when it involves a beautiful young woman, murder, a
powerful politico, a missing fortune and suicide. A passionate
filmmaker, creating a film based upon a true crime, casts an unknown
mysterious young woman bearing a disturbing resemblance to the femme
fatale in the story. He finds himself unsuspectingly drawn into a
complex web of haunting intrigue, obsessed with the woman, the crime,
her possibly notorious past and the disturbing complexity between art
and truth. From the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina to Verona, Rome
and London, new truths are revealed and clues to other crimes and
passions, darker and even more complex are uncovered.
