Duel in the Dark

The roaring twenties…

When it comes to the theatre, Lisa Huleatt is a force to be reckoned with: proud, talented, impulsive... and she gets it all from her grandmother, Alice.

Alice was a famous actress, once upon a time, but now that her heart’s too weak, it’s Lisa who must take care of her.

Lisa and Alice orbit each other like bright, twin stars.

But when Valentine Taureaux arrives he will set the two of them on a collision course and Lisa will transform from doting granddaughter to jealous child.

Lisa is determined to win Valentine over, at any cost, and she thinks she’s found a way.

If she can get Valentine’s script seen by a famous producer like Maurice Humbert, Lisa’s knows she’ll get her man.

But no matter how hard she tries, her plan is going nowhere and Valentine can’t seem to take his eyes off Alice.

Until Maurice asks Lisa a question that changes everything...

Duel in the Dark is a tale of love and vanity that walks a tightrope between comedy and tragedy.
