A taut psychological thriller about a charming psychopath's obsessive manipulation of an innocent man, built on paranoia, moral entrapment, and the terror of being bound to a stranger's murderous scheme.
A charming psychopath tries to coerce a tennis star into his theory that two strangers can commit the perfect crime by exchanging murders—each killing the other’s most-hated person.
