A tense psychological thriller about a woman ensnared by a charming psychopath after a reckless affair, built on paranoia and the danger lurking beneath seductive deception.

Acting on impulse, Claire Dennison, enjoys a brief fling with a sexy stranger (a dead ringer for her husband), only to realize that the object of her desire is a crazed, manipulative, and tenacious psychopath.
