When the body of Army Capt. Elizabeth Campbell is found on a Georgia military base, two investigators, Warrant Officers Paul Brenner and Sara Sunhill, are ordered to solve her murder. What they uncover is anything but clear-cut. Unseemly details emerge about Campbell's life, leading to allegations of a possible military coverup of her death and the involvement of her father, Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell.
For all the stars' intensity as investigators, nobody in this whodunit really seems interested in the upshot.

A middling, so-so thriller.

A lurid mess, a Southern gumbo simmering in Gothic cliche.

In terms of tone, the film is all over the map.

No doubt about it, to divulge the plot would spoil the experience -- you'll be shocked to discover, and maybe even surprised to learn, just how lame the damn thing really is.
