What Cape Fear is
The North Carolina coast in autumn, salt wind rattling an old dock. A courtroom verdict returns a felon to the street. A man in his fifties measures the distance between law and vengeance. The lawyer’s front door creaks open one morning to a legal pad filled in careful block letters. A Hitchcock homage that forgets his lighter touch.
