Thursdays at Blue Belle Café is a noir Drama set in the mid-nineties. About how dark secrets and questionable actions from the past, resurface to haunt the lumber town of Glen Straits. The guilty, the innocent, and the silent bystanders. In the center of it all stands town "strong man" since the sixties; industrialist Clarence Coxx, who now is forced to relive his history while looking back at his old actions. And who has to decide what the findings might mean for his company and whatever future the aging billionaire himself has left.
It also gives three young and lifelong friends Angel, Joanne, and Yoshi unexpected - but not necessarily that appreciated - pieces to add to their understanding of their patchy childhoods. Especially for Angel, who practically doesn't remember anything before the time that she was committed to the hospital at nine years of age. But I mean, It's rather normal. Lots of people don't have many memories from their kiddie years!?
Federal investigators Ayscough and Bulloch also want to make sense of the scattered pieces. But for their own reasons, and mainly to fit it into a bigger and much more sinister context.
And by the way, who is Derek Marshall? Hardly his real name? Some find him charming, other sleazy. Fancies himself as a nihilist, outlaw, and contrarian filmmaker. Seems way more linked to Angel than he admits to. He has a new "star" that he brags about. Says that she is going to be huge! She is uncomfortably young. Well, it is the nineties after all.
By the way? Wasn't Coxx involved in some heavily esoteric stuff during the late sixties? Even suspected of links to organized crime? Didn't he own a share in that night club they had where Road Block Café is today? It was frequented by lots of unsavory characters. That's just what I've HEARD and you probably shouldn't listen to me or people stupid enough to speak about those forgotten years. THINGS could HAPPEN!
