After a woman shoots a man to death, a damning letter she wrote raises suspicions.
The sweltering heat of a Caribbean outpost turns a single act of self-defense into a suffocating psychological trap. A single piece of incriminating stationery transforms a tropical refuge into a courtroom where every shadow feels predatory.
