A mid-century psychological thriller that uses regression therapy and the glamorous Riviera setting to explore the dark impulses lurking beneath a marriage fractured by trauma.

Race car driver Alan Colby and his new wife Denise are involved in a car crash where he sustains a serious head injury, causing him to have murderous feelings toward Denise. After Denise persuades him to honeymoon with her on the Cote D'Azur in France, they enlist the aid of a French psychiatrist who offers to regress Alan back to the time of the accident and cure him.
