Sunday, September 24, 2023
Written by Michael Lucas
Directed by Emma Freeman

October 1987. With international stock markets in freefall, Helen is plunged into personal free-fall when the office is contacted by a gossip columnist, who is planning to print an expose about Helen’s troubled past — her teenage institutionalisation, and her subsequent estrangement from her family. Feeling hunted, Helen knows that the one person capable of shutting down the story is the embattled CEO, Charlie Tate.
