A paranoid, visceral 1970s giallo thriller where a fashion model's drug-induced vision entangles her in a brutal murder mystery and a relentless stalker's hunt.

Valentina, a beautiful fashion model, takes an experimental drug as part of a scientific experiment. While influenced by the drug, Valentina has a vision of a young woman being brutally murdered with a viciously spiked glove. It turns out that a woman was killed in exactly the same way not long ago and soon Valentina finds herself stalked by the same killer.
