If you like the romance and charm of a classic film, this “cozy noir” will remind you of an era when dramatic stories were elegant, subtle, and grim family secrets are revealed over a game of charades in evening dress, while sipping a champagne cocktail.
Enter a world where the second half of the Twentieth Century begins with a toast, a chorus of Auld Lang Syne, and a promise of revenge – now.
