"Do you think I did it?" "Doesn't she deserve justice?" An early trailer has debuted for an indie drama titled Plea, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Brian McQuery. It hasn't premiered at any film festivals yet, but has been submitted to many. McQuery is a friend of the site who has worked with us on preparing interviews many times over the years. Plea is his first feature after making numerous shorts. After 20 years in prison, a wrongfully convicted man is released from prison for rape and murder. The victim's husband has become a recluse, obsessed with a true crime documentary about the case, and tries to contact law enforcement to reopen the investigation. Then the prosecutor is kidnapped in a desperate attempt to convince her to find the real killer. The film stars Steve Mize, Anne Marie Howard, Eddie Kehler, and Heather Langenkamp, with Marty Ryan and Reggie Watkins.

We open with, big surprise, the last requisite murder of the season. At first, we think it’s a standard scene of domestic intranquility. But wait, it’s a play within a crime drama within a lesbian show. That prop gun was loaded with real bullets. And good thing it was because now we have a reason to visit with our favorite medical examiner and homicide detective.

Back at the Isles Estate, Det. Jane Rizzoli is there because Det. Jane Rizzoli is always at Dr. Maura Isles’ house. This time they’re playing with what appears to be bones and wires. Kinky. But then even kinkier Maura shows off her new “Al Fresco Lunch Tray Pants” to Jane. They have a Velcro apron that turns into, well, a lunch tray. Jane will definitely be dining in tonight. She’ll start by bobbing for apples.

As tempted by...

Someone is pulling a Walter White and cooking meth. Look, everyone has to make a living somehow. No, wait. That doesn’t look like meth. That looks like, grains? Are they making cereal? Oh, well, too late, because the cooker gets cooked when an unknown assailant runs him through with a spear.

Speaking of spears, Det. Jane Rizzoli feels one through her brain as she sees her mother primping in the café to attract male attention. Jane calls it weird watching her mother try to rebound and Dr. Maura Isles’ eyes wander down, secure in the thought that she doesn’t have to rebound from anything. All she wants is right in front of her.

Maura unleashes one of her legendary fun facts and tells Jane the average woman ingests seven pounds of lip stick in her lifetime. Now, is that the average lipstick lesbian or the average tomboy homicide detective?...
