Acting dead is easy. Staying alive is much, much harder - as Michael Quinn discovers in this Rhode Island thriller for fans of small-town crime dramas.

Welcome to Cape Mistral – the home town of movie star Michael Quinn. Cape Mistral is a small town on an island off the coast of Providence – a safe haven for millionaires living in luxurious mansions. The residents enjoy beautiful beaches, sandy coves and a thriving tourist industry. Everything seems perfect on the island – until Michael returns home from Hollywood, looking for a new start.

Michael is a recovering alcoholic, seeking to reconnect with his friends and family after living a twisted Hollywood Dream. Unfortunately, his plan to make amends proves harder than he imagined, because he soon discovers nothing is as it first appears.

Cape Mistral is a dangerous place, where dark secrets and vicious enemies are waiting to be uncovered.

Old murders and new ones make Michael’s life suddenly very dangerous.

To uncover the truth, Michael must turn into an amateur detective, confronting violent criminals just like in one of his own action movies.

But this time there are no second takes.

This time the dangers are real.
