The Story
When the truth is more dangerous than the crime
When a troubled detective interrogates an old friend over an unsolved murder, an event in their past rises to the surface — forcing him into a moral dilemma that could destroy everything he's built.
Damascus Steel is a taut, single-location psychological thriller that unfolds across one interrogation session, weaving between the present and a series of flashbacks that slowly reveal a shared secret between two men — and the knife that ties them together.
