Someone, Somewhere, Is Listening
Two police detectives, estranged lovers of years past, risk life and career in an undercover attempt to identify the sociopath conducting a campaign of extortion, robbery, rape, and murder based on information gleaned from personal phone conversations. (semi-finalist Lonely Wolf International Film Festival, winter 2024)
The brunt of the investigation falls upon Edith as Karl, against orders, maintains his connections with Robbery/Homicide in an investigation of drug-related robberies that have escalated to murder. When a snitch of Karl's is murdered, he goes rogue, setting the perpetrator up for assassination. Edith is aghast upon discovering his actions.
Old Flames are rekindled as Karl and Edith work together. Edith's current lover, Kevin, is aware of the previous relationship between Karl and Edith and offers Edith marriage at the expense of her career.
Karl feels there is a connection between the drug/murder cases and those under special assignment. A link is determined to monitored phone conversations; an untraceable, undetectable means of surveillance. A police sting is conducted but goes sour due to the intervention of an adversary of Karl's who works on the police force. This confirms Karl's suspicion of police involvement.
The antagonist witnesses the botched sting. Enraged, he tracks down and murders a beautiful young intern who assisted Karl and Edith with the operation.
Karl and Edith become of one mind, launching a second sting independent of department knowledge. With the aid of a high-tech former military intelligence officer, they place their lives and careers on the line, in what becomes a Die Hard duel to the death.
