"Samantha Rutledge P.I: A Killer Case" is a detective noir thriller inspired by such classics as “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), and “The Big Sleep” (1946), but with a modern approach and sensibility. Samantha Rutledge is a female version of Sam Spade as she finds herself in a dangerous cat and mouse game with a menacing foe - making her wish for the days where all she seemed to get were endless cases of infidelity.
