THE NECKLACE
A psychological thriller about a middle-age woman's coming-of-age; the fallibility of our justice system, the mutability of memory, and a mother's quest to find the truth in between the two - by Emmy- and Edgar-nominated Screenwriter Matt Witten.
THE NECKLACE follows Susan Lentigo, a middle-aged waitress in upstate New York, on her journey to North Dakota to watch the execution of the man convicted of raping and murdering her daughter Amy twenty years ago. But she discovers new evidence on the way that leads her to suspect the real killer may be her ex-husband Danny - a necklace identical to Amy's, worn by the youngest daughter in Danny's new family.
As repressed memories float to the surface, Susan must find the truth about Amy's murder before an innocent man pays the price.
Matt Witten is a TV writer, novelist, playwright and screenwriter. He has been writing for television for the past fifteen years, including such shows as House, Pretty Little Liars, Law & Order, CSI Miami, Supernatural, The Glades, Medium, JAG, Judging Amy, Peacemakers, Homicide, and Women's Murder Club. His TV scripts have been nominated for an Emmy and two Edgars, and he has written pilots for ABC, ABC Family, CW, MTV, and TNT. Before moving to L.A., Matt wrote four mystery novels that were published by Signet, featuring amateur sleuth Jacob Burns: Breakfast at Madeline's, Grand Delusion, Strange Bedfellows, and The Killing Bee. Breakfast at Madeline's received the Malice Domestic Award. His movie Drones premiered in 2014 and played at the AFI Film Festival, the Austin Film Festival, and the London Film Festival. As a playwright, his best known plays are The Deal, Sacred Journey, Washington Square Moves and The Ties That Bind, which have been published by Dramatists Play Service and Samuel French and produced off-Broadway and throughout the world. Producing theatres include Primary Stages, the Huntington Theatre, and the Philadelphia Festival Theatre, and awards include the Clauder Competition and an Outstanding New Play Award from the American Theatre Critics Association. Matt was playwright-in-residence at two prisons, where he produced festivals of one-act plays written by the inmates. Matt has also written for national magazines like Glamour, Parents, and Parenting.
