The Houses that Are Left
Shelly Silver
New York at the start of the 1990s. Chris and her three friends manage to get by, working on jobs that they don’t really like and living out relationships that are more or less fulfilled. But what they do not realise: they are under observation from the Otherside – i.e. five dead persons gathered in a control room monitor events and eventually begin to interfere in the lives of the living. Driven by love, murder, jealousy and revenge, a labyrinthine story unfolds situated between mystery story and crime lit, documentary film and TV melodrama.
