Description
Black sheep Billy Turner (Judd Nelson, The Breakfast Club) returns to his rural Florida home to find that his father, the town’s mayor, has been murdered. With little interest from local law enforcement in bringing his father’s killer to justice, Billy sets out to solve the mystery with the aid of an embittered high school friend, Joey Rayford (David Caruso, TV’s CSI: Miami) and Joey’s sister Annie (Ally Sheedy, The Breakfast Club). Their lives are put in jeopardy when the local mob boss, Perry Kersh (Scott Wilson, The Great Gatsby), takes none too kindly to their investigation.
Blue City, directed by Michelle Manning (The Breakfast Club co-producer) from a screenplay by Walter Hill (48 Hours) and Lukas Heller (The Dirty Dozen) based on Ross MacDonald’s novel, features a supporting cast that includes Paul Winfield (Sounder) and Anita Morris (The Hotel New Hampshire) with cinematographer Steven Poster (Donnie Darko) and composer Ry Cooder (The End of Violence) lending their considerable talents to the proceedings.
