Synopsis
This psychological thriller about revenge centers on the interlocking triangular relationship between Dee, a successful television playwright; Hallet, a detective superintendent; and Stone, a humorless, prissy man.
Dee arrives at Stone's flat, having accepted an invitation to discuss a script by Stone's wife.
She is rather surprised when Hallett, with whom she is having an affair, also arrives, apparently to investigate a matter concerning Stone's son and his involvement with a drug ring.
But where are wife and son?
After many twists and turns, Stone's intentions become clear as he slowly reveals the precise nature of the trio's relationship.-1 woman, 2 men
