## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Rain-slick Seattle. A rook in its box. Chess champion Peter Sanderson faces a homicidal maniac during a tournament. Is he a suspect, a target, or somehow both? More bodies surface.

Director Schenkel’s twisty neo-noir is a decent addition to any late-night cable marathon.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, paranoid, slow-burn
