Young American cult movie director Mitchell Haven has found the material to make his next masterpiece.
It’s a true crime story involving a beautiful young woman, Velma Duran, and her older politico lover, Rafe Taschen.
When their fraudulent kickback scheme goes wrong, it leads to the shooting death of a sheriff’s deputy and ends with the star-crossed lovers’ dramatic suicides.
Mitchell falls in love with the ill-fated tale, and even more so with the beautiful Velma Duran.
And when he casts Euro-based model and budding actress Laurel Graham, who bears an eerie resemblance to Velma, he falls even further in love.
But by the time shooting begins on the very location of the incidents, Mitchell learns that nothing about the crime, or its participants, is as it seems... - Venice Film Festival
