Plot Synopsis

The Criminal

Jasper is arrested by middle-aged detective Walker and his ambitious assistant White for the murder of twentysomething beauty Sarah. He confesses that he knew the deceased – they spent the previous night together at a bar and then his apartment – but before they were able to become intimate, assailants burst into the flat and murdered Sarah. A fractured timeframe unspools the events surrounding the brutal attack, constantly shifting the audience’s perception of Jasper’s innocence or guilt.
