He becomes a suspect. When Bone spots the man he thinks is the murderer in a parade later that day – local tycoon J.J.

His interest soon becomes a conspiracy theory that develops into a troublesome investigation with his skeptical friend and the dead girl's sister (Ann Dusenberry) along for the ride.Actors

Alors qu'il pensait être engagé comme vendeur, sa mission sera en réalité la surveillance de la clientèle et l'interception des voleurs. Seul homme au milieu de vendeuses n'ayant pas leur langue en poche, il se montre maladroit et inefficace dans sa tâche. Soupçonnant un client de vol, Petr le suit en ville avant de décider de ne pas revenir travailler après une vaine poursuite. Il préfère ensuite aller nager en compagnie de deux jeunes apprentis maçons qui le méprisent. Il rencontre une fille de son âge qu'il courtise tout aussi gauchement et inefficacement qu'il a entamé son entrée dans le monde du travail. Pendant un bal, il découvre ensuite les effets de l'alcool. Petit à petit, il tente de trouver sa place dans cet univers parmi les adultes et leur vie routinière.

Like the 1986 film Gothic, Haunted Summer is set in 1816. Authors Lord Byron, Mary Shelley (née Godwin) and Percy Shelley get together for some philosophical discussions, but the situation soon deteriorates into mind games, drugs, and sex. It is a fictionalization of the summer that Lord Byron and the Shelleys, together with Lord Byron's ex-lover and his doctor, John Polidori, spent in the isolated Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva. It is there they devise a contest to adduce the best horror story to kill the dullness of summer. It is also there that one of the world's most famous books was given life—Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
