Synopsis

In this unique psychological thriller, two stories unfold simultaneously in the same space but in different time frames

Maura and Scott, a couple in their early-mid thirties, meet while serving on jury duty for a murder trial and get romantically involved with each other.

As their relationship develops, they discover they adamantly disagree on what the verdict thould be.

They also realize that each is not the person the other thought they were.

At the same time and in the same space that their story is being played out to its frightening climax, Jan and Tom, another young couple who have just met, weave through their unsual relationship that strangely enough has ties to the same murder case.

Formally titled The Stanway Case.
