The Escapee

It is New York City, May of 1950, and Hollywood screenwriter Harrison Harper is in turmoil-devastated by the death of his fiance, Amelia, and torn by his feelings for the newest woman in his life, film star Venus Kingsley. Struggling through alcoholism, Harrison suddenly finds himself being blackmailed by a mysterious stranger who claims to know the truth behind Amelia's death-a truth that Harrison has kept secret for two agonizing years. As dangers rise and situations worsen, Harrison must conquer his vices and his enemies, and overcome the agony of lost love, all the while trying to resist the call from a bottle of liquor...and to stay alive in the process.
