Darkest Light

A moody, Wellington cityscape is the setting for this paranormal murder mystery and passion project, from first-time writer/director Floris Van Gaalen. Mark Hadlow (Mortal Engines, Willy Nilly) plays Detective David King, who becomes the prime suspect for murder after the death of his wife Elizabeth (Carmel McGlone). In this opening excerpt King wakes to find Elizabeth dead beside him. Superintendent Dean Porter (Nathanial Lees) informs King he wants to keep the investigation into her death 'in house'. King meets with Grace (Amelia Reid-Meredith), a local psychic who has helped him on cases before.
