Josselyn's Wife

In the fragile ecosystem of 1920s high society, Lillian Josselyn finds her hard-won domestic stability threatened by the return of a ghost. Pierre Marchand, the man who once discarded her for the social safety of Ellen Latimer, reappears not as a reformed friend but as a predatory architect of chaos. Under the guise of artistic pursuit, Pierre lures Lillian into his studio to capture her likeness on canvas, a move that is less about art and more about reclaiming ownership of a past flame. The situation spirals into a web of surveillance and suspicion: Ellen, sensing Pierre's wandering eye toward a dancer named Flo, engages in a retaliatory flirtation with Arthur. When Lillian’s attempts to bury her history lead her back to Pierre's studio to stop a blackmail attempt, the stage is set for a violent reckoning. A murder occurs, a false confession is made in the name of marital devotion, and a courtroom drama unfolds where the truth is only revealed through the dying gasp of a woman scorned. It is a story of how the past never truly stays buried; it just waits for the right moment to demand a ransom.
