Dead in the Water

A high-stakes lawyer's illicit affair with his secretary sets off a chain reaction, forcing him to consider a calculated murder to break free from his unfulfilling marriage.

Charlie Deegan, a prominent lawyer, has a seemingly perfect life: a thriving law practice, a beautiful lover, and a chance to be appointed to the high court. However, his shrewish wife Olivia, whose father's wealth and power, constantly belittles him. When his lover jokingly suggests getting rid of Olivia, Charlie concocts a plan to eliminate her, involving a socialite he detests. But as things unfold, his plan unravels, and he realizes he may not be as clever as he thought.
