Da Capo

Logline: A beautiful woman dies in a fire. Suicide, accident or murder? The story is told three times, through the eyes of the woman, her philandering husband, and her would-be lover. Each time new and unexpected layers of the truth are revealed.

Synopsis: Ex-model Angel, the pregnant heiress to a wealthy and celebrated architect, dies in a sudden fire at her seaside cottage. Is it a suicide? An accident? A murder? Who, if any, is the real killer? The story reveals new layers of the truth as the events are seen – consecutively - through the eyes of Angel, through the eyes of her philandering husband Toby, and through the eyes of Angel’s would-be lover Trevor. And just as we think we know what happened, a twist at the end reveals what was really at stake.
I think of this screenplay as a detective story in three acts where the story structure takes on the role of the investigator.
