Spectrum Collabs Ends Season with The Art of Murder
Synopsis
Set in modern day Metro Manila, the Art of Murder features PNP intern Fred (played by Mikey Javier), as he guides the audience through the infamous Crime of the South (aka Alabang). The crime is set in motion when all-around nice guy Mark (Gino Ramirez) returns to the Philippines as a famous writer with an attitude that ticks everybody off. On the night of his despedida, Mark is murdered. His friends – the insecure and distrustful bassist, Nico, (Antonio Lane); the perfectionist ballerina-slash-med student, Michi (Alecx Lorica); the desperate actress, Joyce (Lara Antonio); the quiet yet determined filmmaker, Ian (Franco Ramos); Mark’s short-fused, ex-painter cousin, Raf (Chuckie Campos Juan), and finally, Mark’s comic book geek brother, Miggy (Boo Gabunada) – now become the suspects of the infamous crime. With Fred at the helm, the audience will be presented with evidence, interrogation, and flashback scenes that will lead to the discovery of the killer. In the end, the verdict will lie on the audience’s hands.
