THE THING IS . . . WHO DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO GAIN BY HAVING A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM? ALL THAT MONEY? HE DREW US ALL IN LIKE BEES TO HONEY ­- AND HE KNEW IT THE ENTIRE TIME.

Ten years ago, Sarah left behind a career in Hollywood that she had sacrificed everything for. Now she lectures at a small college, her dreams of showbiz success long behind her.

When a curious journalist raises her filmmaking past, Sarah must finally tell her own story and confront the old dreams that she left behind. But with old dreams come new realisations, and Sarah can't help but wonder: was she complicit in the terrible events that happened all those years ago? And is she content to let the past stay buried?

POWERFUL AND TIMELY, COMPLICIT IS A GLIMPSE INTO THE DARK GLAMOUR OF HOLLYWOOD, AND THE PRICE OF AMBITION IN A DANGEROUS WORLD. A COMPELLING SLOW BURN THAT ASKS THE QUESTION: IF SPEAKING UP COULD COST YOU EVERYTHING, WHAT WOULD YOU REALLY DO?
