What Jennifer Eight is

A fog-choked upstate winter night, a solitary file cabinet left ajar. A disgraced L.A. detective now grills a sightless woman while the town dismisses the pattern of blood. One missing eyewitness map keeps the city’s bodies piling. A late Hitchcock shadow wanders into dead-end noir.
