| Alan |
June's husband |
David is a retired Policeman, terminally ill.
Daughter June blames him for her mother's suicide years before so she and
husband Alan plan his murder for the inheritance. They hire the shady
Jones to do the job, little knowing that David didn't retire - he was
discreetly sacked for criminal activities, and Jones was one of his
criminal friends. There is honour among thieves - Jones will not see David
murdered nor the couple escape. Yet David is shot…
Note that Peters could be played by a woman.
With very minor changes, the part of David could easily be played by a disabled actor. |
