Investigative journalist Scott is taking his nighttime run through his favourite park when he catches a glimpse of a woman—a woman who the next morning is found dead. Naturally, Scott takes it upon himself to solve the mystery of her identity. Joined by two much younger accomplices with tenuous connections to the victim, the three navigate the back alleys of New York and the backcountry roads of the Northeast to find answers. The answers they get, as we find, are never as cut-and-dried as they seem. This one definitely kept me up at night.
