Sinossi
A Drim, un paesino a pochi chilometri da Lochdubh, è arrivata una troupe per girare un film tratto da un vecchio romanzo di Patricia Martyn-Broyd, una scrittrice locale.

Patricia Martyn-Broyd is an aging mystery writer with most of her books out-of-print. When a studio calls and wants to make a TV series based on her most successful novel, she's thrilled. Having fired her agent, she handles the deal herself. Unfortunately, she discovers too late that instead of havi Leggi tutto
