Murder at 1600

In the heart of Washington, D.C., a single, unsettling discovery in a White House bathroom sets the nation’s most powerful corridors into motion. The murder—found in the very place where history is made—draws the attention of a city‑savvy homicide detective who is accustomed to gritty streets rather than gilded hallways. As political tensions flare on the world stage, the investigation promises to intertwine personal stakes with the fragile balance of international diplomacy.

Enter Harlan Regis, a seasoned detective whose relentless drive is matched only by the looming threat of losing his home to a downtown development. Paired, perhaps reluctantly, with Nina Chance, a disciplined secret‑service operative whose past includes Olympic‑level marksmanship, the duo must navigate a labyrinth of protocol, secrecy, and hidden agendas. Their partnership is as much a clash of worlds—street‑wise instinct against polished intelligence—as it is a necessary alliance, each bringing a unique perspective to a case that could reshape reputations and careers.

The film’s tone balances tense political thriller with a gritty, character‑driven mystery, underscored by the ever‑present hum of global unrest. The White House itself becomes a character, its storied rooms and shadowy tunnels reflecting the layers of power that the investigators must peel back. While the stakes are high and suspicion surrounds every official corridor, the story promises an atmospheric journey where loyalty, ambition, and the quest for truth collide, leaving audiences eager to see how far two unlikely allies will go to uncover what lies beneath the surface.
