Murder on the Cape

After losing his job, a struggling fisherman Mike Luna (Josh Walther) is forced to take odd jobs in the small, close-knit community of Cape Cod. He meets fashion writer Elizabeth Baldwin (Jade Harlow) while she is spending a winter holiday on the island and sparks fly. They have a passionate affair, but gossip spreads and his wife Nancy (Heather Egeli) and soon grows suspicious of his constant disappearances. Mike calls off the affair, but Elizabeth surprises him with the news that she is pregnant and intends to keep the baby returning to New York City. Two years later, Mike panics when Elizabeth returns with his son. She tries to rekindle their affair, but he wants nothing to do with her. Soon after he confesses the affair to his wife, Elizabeth is found murdered with her child crying by her side. Who murdered Elizabeth? Was she an unfortunate casualty of a drug deal gone wrong between Carlos and Sammy (Chris Lazzaro)? Was it Nancy in a jealous rage, or Elizabeth’s obsessive neighbor Peter (Tim Misuradze), who was hopelessly in love with her? Or could it have been Mike himself? (Orlando Film Festival)
