Synopsis from Film Movement:
This is a story about the wrong person in the right place at the wrong time. Two heinous crimes have left a suburban town reeling. Police quickly connect them but are desperate for witnesses as the local community enfolds itself in a shroud of secrecy, borne from fear and an untrammeled mistrust of authority.
A young police constable, Graham McGahan, suffers from a chronic hearing problem and applies for worker's compensation. To his chagrin, he is stationed at a police caravan near the crime scene. Living on the periphery of the investigation, McGahan crosses paths with the various people affected by the tragedies and uncovers an unraveling nightmare of guilt and suspicion.
The Library's film series is sponsored by the Friends of the Monona Public Library.

Films screen at 6:30 PM with a discussion following.
Each month, the Library will screen a foreign or art film that will likely not be seen anywhere else. Through the Library’s subscription to the Film Movement Series, courtesy of the Friends of the Library, the Library obtains a new award-winning film each month. Film Movement scours the world’s top film festivals including Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, and New York to select the best films from thousands of entries. These are great films (for grown-ups) that you likely won’t find at Blockbuster. Imagine seeing a Sundance Theater-type film without leaving town and without paying admission.
