Kismet | Mike Smith

Password: kismet The kidnapping of a young girl in an isolated mountain town forces two female police officers -- one local, one state -- into a disturbing and polarizing investigation of the community. Kismet juxtaposes two narratives after the disappearance of 11 year old Sylvia Goldstein. The first: Detective Sevda Terzi arrives in Baker Springs to interrogate the case's sole suspect, Mr. Charlotte Wilkes. The second: Officer Jill Chandler, doubtful of Charlotte's guilt, follows an off-the-clock hunch into the mountain wilderness. Brutal, twisted, and unsettling, Kismet forces Terzi and Jill into the darkest corners of each other's minds to find Sylvia.
