Set in New York’s Greenwich Village, Cui Bono dramatizes the clash between justice and vengeance. Visiting investigative reporter Lucy Hunter, determined to resist speculation and uncover fact, makes her way through a landscape where fascination and horror co-exist. She ventures willingly into the darkest recesses of human imagining. Imbued with Apollonian light, able then to avoid the whiplash of the furious truths that confront her, she must establish for herself a course of action between legal responsibility and personal betrayal. Lucy’s dilemma is resolved, and the question of cui bono is answered. The court of moral judgement she envisions transcends the limitations of time that her flight of fancy inspires.
