Framed! Test Of CompassionFramed!
Synopsis:
When Judy meets Sam on an internet dating service, she believes she has met the perfect man for her. Its taken her a long time to trust any man again after being so badly betrayed by her husband Nick, an international drugs dealer. Sam appears to be everything Judy wants and needs. The happy twosome decide to go away for a holiday. For how long? Well, say for just a weekend. Where? Theres this cottage in Norfolk. Isnt it a bit isolated? Yes, but how romantic. Ideal for just the two of us. Ideal, yes. Until slowly Judy begins to realize that perhaps Sam is not the man she thought he was. Framed! is a psychological murder mystery full of enough twists and turns to keep us on the very edge of our seats. A genuine thriller with traditional frightening ingredients such as a remote cottage, wind-swept vistas, thunderstorms, threatening silhouettes at the windows, bodies buried in the garden & but ending with a real, modern contemporary twist.
