“Secret Electric Mind” tells the tale of how a mentally ill newspaper reporter navigates the truth of his wife’s death, the demons that test him, and the mysteries he chases. Months after a car accident unravels Sam Carson’s life, he awakens to a reality without his beloved wife Claire. He is constantly relearning of the loss as his unreliable memory misdirects his recovery and grief. Sam’s bloodhound reporter instincts, mixed with mania, lead him on a meandering mix of mysteries of killer cops and missing college students, while coming to terms with what happened to Claire. Interwoven with his spotty recovery are interactions with forces that may be friend or foe. Sam struggles to unwrap who he can trust and decide whether he can create a life without Claire.
