Noirish thriller about a man who enters into a dangerous
extra-marital affair, with deadly consequences. When Dave Ford
(Matt Long) returns to his home town to attend his father's
funeral, he is reunited with old friends Emily (Emmanuelle Chriqui)
and Brian Nicholson (Luke Mably), who are now married and very
wealthy. When Emily and Brian offer to help Dave restore his
father's house, the old friends instantly pick up where they left
off years ago. But when Emily and Brian's relationship suddenly
turns violent, Emily runs to Dave for protection from her abusive
husband. Despite warnings that Emily may not be who she appears to
be, Dave is unable to resist his feelings towards her and the two
begin an affair. But as the truth about Emily is revealed, Dave
finds himself caught up in a deadly game with no easy way out.
Adam Smith (1723-1790) was one of the brightest stars of the
eighteenth-century Scottish Enlightenment. An Inquiry into the
Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was his most important
book. First published in London in March 1776, it had been eagerly
anticipated by Smith's contemporaries and became an immediate
bestseller. That edition sold out quickly and others followed.
Today, Smith's Wealth of Nations rightfully claims a place in the
Western intellectual canon. It is the first book of modern
political economy, and still provides the foundation for the study
of that discipline. But it is much more than that. Along with
important discussions of economics and political theory, Smith
mixed plain common sense with large measures of history,
philosophy, psychology, sociology, and much else. Few texts remind
us so clearly that the Enlightenment was very much a lived
experience, a concern with improving the human condition in
practical ways for real people. A masterpiece by any measure,
Wealth of Nations remains a classic of world literature to be
usefully enjoyed by readers today.
