The Middle Man

A small town is experiencing an epidemic of accidents and deaths. The town is run by "The Commission" - the Sheriff, the Doctor and the Pastor - who decide to hire a 'Middle Man' whose sole responsibility will be to inform the family when an unfortunate incident occurs. Frank Farrelli is a quiet, thoughtful man who proves perfect for the job.

He takes his new role on with gusto and quickly becomes the town's beacon of bad news. But the pressures of the job and a budding new romance overwhelm Frank. To ease his burden, he calls in a 'favour' that ends up in a murder.
