The plot of ‘Crime and desire’, with Emilia Clarke
‘Crime and desire’ summarizes one of the main rules for an FBI agent or other police force: do not relate personally or sentimentally with an informant, and much less if it is someone who is involved in a world of drugs, vices and problems .
We are talking about Mark Putman, a young newlywed who works for the FBI and is assigned to a small town in Kentucky, with the only appeal of the mountains. There he meets Susan, with whom he starts an affair after working with her as an informant to end drug trafficking in the town.
Susan, divorced after living a dysfunctional marriage, and who continues to live with her ex and their children, sees in Mark a way to escape his conflictive and depressing life. But their relationship ends in a tragic outcome.
