Haines is a successful architect in the midst of a divorce, Bruno a mysterious smooth-talker with a sadistic proposal: he'll murder Haines's wife if Haines will murder Bruno's father.

From this moment, almost against his conscious will, he is trapped in a nightmare of shared guilt and an insidious merging of personalities.
