Matricide — Michael B. Druxman

An Original Screenplay by Michael B. Druxman, inspired by a sensational Hollywood murder. The Seattle police claim that Robby Abbott, 20, has murdered his mother, a former internationally-known high fashion model. When first assigned to defend the young man, attorney Rebecca Gleason believes her client to be guilty, as does her former husband, Harry Gleason, a private investigator of dubious reputation. Yet, as they delve deeper into the case, both Harry and Rebecca come to realize that they have more than a simple murder on their hands. A subsequent homicide and the appearance of the F.B.I. on the scene makes them realize that they have stumbled onto an international conspiracy, involving long hidden dark secrets capable of bringing down a powerful monarchy. Now, both Harry and Rebecca's lives, as well as that of their young son, are in danger, and the only thing that will save them from the killers who are stalking them is to learn the truth from a dying potentate, currently undergoing medical treatment in Canada.
