Apple Never Falls, The

Synopsis:
It's January, 1964, and you can smell the fear as the Boston Strangler stalks his victims. While east Boston hides behind locked doors, Frankie Payne, the gin-soaked but not quite burned-out detective, has her own problems. A disturbing message from a family member, a friend's son gone astray--it all adds up to unlikely alliances and unforeseen betrayals, as Frankie learns the hard way that the apple never falls far from the tree.

No Good Deed

Synopsis:
Sure, Frankie Payne was the first female detective on the Boston Police force, but that was a long time ago. Now it's 1962 - Camelot they called it. But Frankie's east Boston is a grittier place, filled with greed, lust and violence. Gin-soaked but not quite washed up, Frankie is now a private detective, making a living off of any two bit job she can get. Meanwhile an Irish gang war rages across the City. No one dares to cross the Winter Hill Gang, except for Milt Stafford, whose trucks keep getting hijacked. Stafford must find out who is hitting his trucks and why. an old friend of Frankie's gets her involved in the case and very soon the devastating events that drove her from the Force twenty years ago come back to once again challenge her as history seems to be repeating itself. This gritty detective yarn is told with a classic film noir aesthetic.
