While the city drops into paranoia fuelled by the police and the mayor, Charlie and Elodie try to keep the black sheep daughter of a prominent family from a certain prison sentence.The Finger’s Twist is more than a whodunit–it’s the story of a romantic relationship that’s constantly in jeopardy from within and without.
