Red 71 is a stylistic neo-noir mystery, set in a peculiar desert town, whose characters form a web of relationships.  Shane, a self-styled gumshoe, expresses himself sparingly and yearns for beautiful and calculating Lorain.  She induced him to invest in her husband Charley's illicit club, 71, and wants him to stop Del, her mercurial lover, from assaulting Charley. When Charley is brutally murdered, the police have a suspect - then Del is murdered. Now everyone is a possible killer. The story unravels to reveal the killer and answer the question, How far could one go to posses what he will never have?  
 
Eerie cinematography and an atmospheric score by Friends of Dean Martinez form an audio-visual landscape reminiscent of David Lynch. Ken Henderson’s tightly-woven screenplay will keep audiences wondering until the very end.
