The big news story in Chicago is the murder trial of Johnny
Santoro, a dock worker whose girlfriend has been killed.
Most Chicagoans are betting on a quick guilty verdict, but
Ellie Foreman has doubts about his complicity—Santoro is
strangely familiar to her. Checking back to the outtakes of
a video project in progress while the murder took place,
Ellie finds evidence that could save Santoro from a
lifetime behind bars. It seems the perfect alibi, but the
tape is compromised by radio interference and Santoro goes
to jail. Almost immediately, Ellie's world begins to shift:
a suspicious vehicle follows her, the Chicago mob shows up,
and the FBI wants to question her. She doesn't have
answers, but she has questions of her own about the radio
transmissions. Everything indicates someone wants something
from her, something bigger than the Santoro case. If only
she could figure out what it is.... 'A Picture of Guilt'
follows Ellie's debut in 'An Eye for Murder.'
