Prime Focus: An unlikely tale of love in a world of deceit, greed and murder

Prime Focus follows an engaging cast of characters as they are unknowingly pulled into the wake of a deadly act committed decades earlier. From Seattle to Santa Barbara and ultimately to a violent confrontation in Honolulu, this compelling tale of deceit, greed and murder will keep you turning the pages. Standing at the center is Mary-Birch Rose, tall and elegant her charismatic beauty conceals a winner take all attitude without boundaries. Gerard, her son, dominated by his powerful single parent mother remains unaware of the dark secret of his parentage. Introverted yet brilliant Gerard finds escape from his narrow colorless life through the lens of his Nikon camera. His growing path to self-discovery and true love threatened by a potentially fatal encounter. Ensnared by Mary-Birch's charms is wealthy widower Leonard Elkins. Unknown to both is that Leonard's estranged son, Jamie - 'Jamie the Shrimp', is being pursued with murderous intent by the unpredictably violent one eyed 'Hector the Collector' and his boss, Matt Rilke. Both men out for vengeance and pay-back after a drug deal gone bad. Doggedly putting the puzzle together and hoping to prevent more mayhem is Lt. Detective Eric Strelow of the Seattle Police Department. Although amassing damning evidence of cold blooded murder Lt. Strelow is strangely overcome by a desire to see his quarry found innocent. Along with his partner Manny and Sgt. Nakoa of the Honolulu PD, Lt. Strelow pushes boundaries to stay one step ahead of the FBI who want to take over his case. An innocent party to the deceit and violence is the Clockwise, Leonard's elegant ocean rigged sailboat. With dead bodies literally trailing in her wake, Clockwise never falters in her steady passage across the stormy waters of Puget Sound or on her journey across the Pacific. Enhancing this tumultuous tale is the appearance of Athena. An exotic beauty who's lifesaving actions and mysterious accent leave all who meet her wanting to know more.
