A darkly comedic thriller built on a macabre premise—an unwitting protagonist caught between a jilted woman's revenge and a killer's desperate cover-up.

As a reward from a jilted millionairess, Davis is given the $100,000 Porsche of the unfaithful husband. Unknown to Davis and the wife, the body of the husband is in the Porsche. The killer tries in vain to recover the body before it is discovered.
