Proof of Claim

In the sterile corridors of a federal bankruptcy court, disbarred lawyer Vincent Hale stumbles upon a cryptic creditor's claim that leads him into the obsessive world of Adrian Cross, a conceptual artist who transforms the machinery of debt and legal absolution into a series of ritualistic murders. As Hale delves deeper, the boundaries between justice and aesthetic transgression dissolve, forcing him to confront the possibility that the ultimate artistic statement requires total annihilation—and that his own relentless pursuit of truth has become the final, unwitting performance in Cross's masterpiece.
