Set in 1950’s Phoenix, Arizona, this Hitchcockian, Kubrickian blend follows two interlinking tales of blackmail: through the ears of a travelling telephone lineman, Kurt.

 

After tapping into a murder plot between two women, Kurt debates whether to intervene and warn their victim, or blackmail them himself.

 

Soon Kurt conspires a better plan – possibly damaging the lives of the whole town, as well as himself in this ever-evolving scheme of horror.
