Synopsis

A chance visit at a historic murder/ suicide location in Manhattan inexplicably draws a film producer into the crime and inner world of the murderer, American visionary poet and sun mystic Harry Crosby. As her research spirals into obsession, her grip on reality frays, culminating in a harrowing burnout- until she discovers a shocking personal link to the killer.
An original and emotional film dealing with the surreal nature of art and trauma.
