A fractured marriage, fueled by hidden cameras and a voyeuristic wife, forms the volatile core of this tale. Sheila, a former police officer, secretly observes her husband Tom, an ornithologist captivated by the allure of his ex-lover, Merle. Merle, a woman as delicate as the birds Tom studies, is entangled with the enigmatic Ray Starling, a hotel magnate with shadowy connections to a powerful oil tycoon, her father. This web of deceit ensnares Merle's sister, Hazel, who finds herself drawn to Tom, yet trapped in Starling's sphere of influence. When Ray Starling turns up dead, Detective Calvin, grappling with his loyalty to his ex-partner Sheila, must untangle a complex conspiracy. Evidence from Sheila's own surveillance footage implicates both her and Tom, casting a long shadow that even encompasses Merle's untimely demise.
