Crimes of Passion

Midnight on a neon-crusted boulevard, the hum of a faulty neon sign. Joanna Crane stitches silk by day, sells silk by night. China Blue’s shadow grows long enough to catch the eye of a detective obsessed with the streets he polices. A priest slips rosary beads into a leather case lined with teeth. Russell’s fever-dream flick weaves lust and violence like stained glass.
