The New York seventies murder that gave birth to a song ...
She was a beautiful young singer-songwriter with a dream,
but she ended up dead on a Madison Avenue sidewalk, a gun in her hand.
Just another New York mugging - except she was the mugger.
Eighteen years after Suzanne Finch was killed, her intended victim Charles Bateman stands accused of her death, and has only the lyrics of her songs with which to defend himself.
Set in a tense and lawless late-20th Century New York, the unexplained elements surrounding Suzanne's death are gradually revealed through the lyrics of the songs she left behind - including her Song for Leonard. As Charles is forced to defend himself, uncovering evidence of police persecution and religious bigotry, his own life is placed in jeopardy the closer he gets to the truth.
Was her dream just a fantasy, and did she deserve to die?
Adapted from the screenplay of the film noir mystery, Bedevilled - A Song for Leonard Cohen, which won a Drama Award at the 2017 Cannes Screenplay Contest, was a Finalist in the 2016 Hollywood Screenplay Contest, and was the winner of the Empire Drama Award at the 2017 New York Screenplay Contest.
