Second Take

A missed coach home throws Ann Symons into the company of actor Stephen Bryce.  ‘Don’t believe all you read about him,' his mother tells her, but truth and gossip merge when a former girlfriend together with rival actor and petty criminal, Robert Marshall, conspire to drag him into a sordid world of drugs and violence.  Can an old lady’s fanciful tales of Bryce family heirlooms, lost for a generation, be trusted?  When Marshall’s boss hears rumours of priceless jewellery, lives are at stake.
