The Innocent
Can you trust your mind?
The Innocent is a 97 minute, Crime-Thriller/Mystery about Michael Chambers, a man dealing with a deeply seeded case of psychological trauma which is the root to his chronic insomnia. He can’t rest even though he wants to more than anything else. Amid all this, there is a child killer on the loose. As a veteran detective, he has been brought out of retirement to stop this predator once and for all. He has to juggle his personal struggles with his family, his mental health and stop a very dangerous man, all before it is too late.
