Darkroom is a psychological drama that illustrates the events of a man, David Mills, and his wife, Coy, who develop film for the Salt Lake Police Department. The horrifying crime scene photos weigh heavily on their morale and cause a constant state of melancholy in their lives. While Coy suffers from the complications of getting pregnant, David experiences a dangerous disconnect from reality. Afflicted with distinguishing what is real and what is fantasy, David is stranded in his own mind. “What is real?” David’s subdued generic life with Coy or the stimulating relationships that he fantasizes having with the victims in the photographs. The constant cloud over their lives causes a distancing in their relationship and is the direct result of the events that transpire.
