"MAD RIVER": A Film by Jarrod Robbins

A psychological thriller about a man named Ben, who struggles with mental health issues, violence, and obsession, while also being a lonely poet and custodian. The book explores his dual life, contrasting his kind exterior with his inner turmoil, and has been adapted into a feature film by Robbins himself, who is also an actor and filmmaker. The novel is described as a tense story about a man on the edge, with a calm surface hiding a dangerous undercurrent, much like its title suggests.
