Philip Kaufman directs the
detective thriller Twisted (originally to be titled
The Blackout Murders), with a script by up-and-coming filmmaker
Sarah Thorp.
Ashley Judd plays troubled police detective
Jessica Shepard, who works under the jurisdiction of the man who raised her as his daughter, police
Commissioner Mills (
Samuel L. Jackson). While investigating a serial murder case,
Jessica -- who is has a proclivity for dangerous, drunken one-night-stands -- discovers that all of the victims are men whom she's recently bedded. Complicating matters are her bitter ex-boyfriend (
Mark Pellegrino), her very curious therapist (
David Strathairn), and her odd-behaving new partner
Mike Delmarco (
Andy Garcia).
