Synopsis
This film noir-inspired dark comedy explores
the distortion of words and the perversion of information. A murder
investigation reveals corruption buried deep within. Suspense, extortion,
invasion of privacy and murder lead to the discovery of the vicious truth.
By day's end, Breakfast For Dinner satisfies the dangerous appetite for
routine order and tidy closure. Shadows of Evil versus Online Predators,
this drama is reminiscent of classic noir with a modern twist.
If you enjoy CSI, Law & Order, or just a hard-boiled detective story, save
some room for Breakfast For Dinner.
