Content descriptions
| Summary, etc.: | Cracking in the desert heat, the sleepy town of Twentynine Palms sits outside the bright, blank sprawl of Los Angeles. For Jack Baylor, a struggling actor who needs a quick exit from the City of Angels after a steamy affair with his best friend's wife, Twentynine Palms is the perfect refuge. Before Jack has a chance to settle in, a family disappears from the motel, leaving behind the signs of a gruesome struggle. In the eyes of the Twentynine Palms police, Jack is the only logical suspect. Now he has to clear his name and escape his angry best friend. |
