Monkey's Mask, The

Lesbian private investigator Jill Fitzpatrick (Susie Porter) is between jobs and between partners when she gets a call to take on a missing person case. The case is a literature student called Mickey (Abbie Cornish) who frequents poetry readings and hero worships Sydney's senior poets, to whom she also pens her own, highly emotive and esexually confronting poems.

Jill interviews Mickey's lecturer, Diana (Kelly McGillis) but finds herself instantly attracted to this sensuous, mysterious - and married - woman. Her passion gets in the way of her profession as Diana becomes a suspect, and Jill risks her own life on the way to finding the awful truth.
