Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME is David Lynch's prequel to his cult television series. At the beginning it concerns the investigation by FBI Agent Chet Desmond and his partner Sam Stanley into the murder of night-shift waitress Teresa Banks in the small Washington state town of Deer Meadow. When Desmond finds a mysterious clue to the murder, he inexplicably disappears. The film then cuts to one year later in the nearby town of Twin Peaks and follows the events during the last week in the life of Laura Palmer, a troubled teenage girl with two boyfriends; the hot-tempered rebel Bobby Briggs and quiet biker James Hurley, her drug addiction, and her relationship with her difficult (and possible schizophrenic) father Leland, a story in which her violent murder was later to motivate much of the TV series.
