The Maniac stalks his wife… his daughter… their lover!
An American artist traveling in the South of France becomes romantically involved with a mysterious widow whose husband escaped from an asylum. As he digs deeper into her past, he’s drawn into a twisted plot involving betrayal, deception, and murder. This moody British thriller blends psychological tension, noir atmosphere, and shocking twists in a deadly dance of manipulation and desire.
