Navigating a new relationship isn’t always about romance. Sometimes itcanbe a total mystery—or even murder. In this whip-smart, jet-black romantic-comedy thriller, commitment-phobic Morgan and her ex-girlfriend Jean still show all the signs of being a couple. Asco-dependent co-hosts of a popular podcast on female serial killers, they practically live together. But everything changes when Morgan falls perilously hard for the mysterious Simone, who may have a murderous past of her own.

When Jean goes out of her way to investigate, her sleuthing causes a rift with Morgan and raises curious red flags about Simone—and neither side is safe from Morgan’s quietly biting commentary. As the laughs and suspicions mount, Morgan must examine all the evidence in front of her about Simone (and herself) and come to a final verdict: Is she just afraid of what it means tobein a relationship, oris her life actually in danger?

Written and directed by star and festival favorite Ingrid Jungermann (co-creator of the acclaimed lesbian web series The Slope and F to 7th), with turns by co-stars Annette O’Toole (Smallville) and Deborah Rush (Strangers With Candy, Orange Is the New Black), this edgy and hilariously haunting film hits the nerves we’ve all felt tingle when push comes to shove in love. Winner of the Best Screenplay Award atboth the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival and Outfest.
