Synopsis

Guy Haines and Charles Bruno meet on a train.

Because they're strangers they can say anything they like to one another.

Bruno proposes the perfect murder: he will kill Guy's unfaithful wife if Guy will kill his much-hated father.

Guy never imagines Bruno is serious.

But Bruno is deadly serious.
