Prior his violent death, Matthew Rafferty managed a failing distillery. But the rye that he manufactured was a moot point because the land was worth $1.5 million.
Now, the distillery will be bequeathed to his wife Kate, who is the prime suspect in his murder. Kate's daughter Nicole, a hot shot attorney in Los Angeles, returns to her roots in the small town of Eastborough to defend her mother.
The film was well-directed with a brisk pace and many nuances in characterization. Alex Camacho was terrific in the role of Nicole, the savvy attorney with the conflicted relationship with her mother. The relationship between Nicole and Bobby, the district attorney, was also well-developed.
Early in the film, there was a wake held for Matthew Rafferty. The group scene brought together a wide assortment of suspects with genuine motives to kill an upstanding member of the Eastborough community. Even Kate's younger sister Riley is not without suspicion.
This is an above-average made-for-television movie with an intricate narrative design, first-rate performances, and a clever screenplay that provides a great punch at the end. Well-worth a watch!
