A thrilling, contemporary mystery in classic noir style, Killer Heat follows private eye Nick Bali (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), an American expat in Greece, hired to investigate the supposed accidental death of young shipping magnate Leo Vardakis (Richard Madden) on the island of Crete. The victim’s sister-in-law (Shailene Woodley) doesn’t believe the official police report. But what exactly happened to Leo, and why? Despite the sun-drenched beauty of its exotic Mediterranean locale, Nick finds darkness at every turn: where the rich and powerful Vardakis family rule like gods, where jealousies run deep, and anyone could be a suspect.

00:13We buried my brother-in-law two days ago
00:16I'm sorry for your loss
00:18a terrible accident
00:20This isn't that simple. I
00:22Need the best investigator I can't trust the local police. Why is that the husband's family owns them and if he finds out that you hired me
00:34Any witnesses no, what was the time of death it's in the report great. Could I see that? No, I
00:40Was told the police had closed their investigation. They have but it's important to move any suspicion. There's been
00:46Criminal activity. Is that what you think happened?
00:48The
00:50Family was rich really rich. I ran the island through violence and extortion

01:07It was complicated but it was love
01:10Everybody is jealous of somebody
01:12Get off my boat before I throw you off. Was that a confession?
01:15The key to most murder cases is the motive
01:29Lied to me I didn't trust you yet. I told you to leave the island. I figured it out
01:35What are they talking about? This is a mistake. You have to go
01:39For some people jealousy is a lot like love
01:42Maybe that's just how I see it
