FADE TO BLACK.
Fifteen years after getting away with murder, a wife and husband have rebuilt their marriage on a foundation of ash—until the ghost of her dead lover returns with a proposition they never saw coming.
Because my brother wasn’t the only one having an affair. Connie… you remember a man named Marc? From the city? Red hair, soft hands?
Connie’s teacup rattles.
You said you wanted a proposition, Paul. How about a partnership?
Thunder cracks. Connie meets Paul’s eyes. And for the first time, we see she is not afraid of him. She is afraid of what she will do next.
Then why are you here?
She stands, walks to the closet, and pulls out a familiar object: a new snow globe.
A rainy night. A modern, glass-walled house in Bedford, New York. CONNIE (now 60, elegant but brittle) pours tea. EDWARD (65, silver-haired, calmer but watchful) stares at the fireplace.
The Reckoning
UNFAITHFUL 2: THE ACCOMPLICE — Coming soon. Would you like this expanded into a full short story or a screenplay scene?
(holding a photograph of his dead brother) You don’t know me. But I know both of you. I know what you did. And I’m not here for the police.
