The Flies of August - Want It All

The Flies of August

When a wealthy insurance executive is gutted with a garden tool amid his rhododendrons, a quiet Connecticut town bursts into the public eye. Rookie detective Donna Bradley, snubbed from the high-profile case, is saddled with an unrelated search for a teenage runaway. The girlâ€™s parentsâ€”a beaten-down father mired in debt and an ailing motherâ€”are mysteriously evasive. A reclusive Englishman seems to have an unhealthy interest in the girl.

As the townâ€™s startling secrets are uncovered, Donnaâ€™s search for a killer becomes a search for herself, as the pressures of the investigation tear away her defenses.

â€œThe Flies of Augustâ€ unfolds through one hot, harrowing summer as the American recession drives rich and poor alike to desperate measures.
