Written by the director (who has also helmed television projects, such as Suspicion and Oliver VII), the story revolves around a depressed homicide detective who is working on a strange case. He is meant to catch a suspected killer who was his late daughter’s best friend. The fugitive, a pretty 23-year-old girl, knocks on his door and asks him to hide her. After a few days, they both realise that they are part of a bigger game...
