Crime, Drama

A seedy motel provides the backdrop for a crumbling affair whose end triggers a night-long series of events that span espionage, murder, and the ruining of two public figures. Pro-environment politician and activist Elizabeth Hayes has decided to end her affair with big oil lobbyist Ray Jacoby. Unbeknownst to the two lovers, a sting operation is underway to expose and ruin them, but tensions between a conniving concierge, an ominous private investigator, and two duplicitous maids precipitate a violent and shocking unraveling of everyone’s best laid plans.
