Synopsis

In this complex story involving deception, extortion, and murder, a successful architect discovers that while beautiful strangers may be dangerous, it is friends who prove to be deadly. After the death of his wife, Paul begins to recover from his depression when he meets a new woman named Laura. However, his growing happiness is shattered when his best friend, Evelyn, uncovers Laura's identity as a con-artist. Feeling remorse for her betrayal and seeking to make amends, Laura uncovers Evelyn's violent fixation on Paul. As she faces blackmail and threats from both Evelyn and a dangerous former lover, Laura ultimately reveals the shocking truth: that Paul's wife was actually murdered.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
