Seduced by a beautiful model after returning her wallet that he finds in his hotel lobby, Nick is later accused of raping and murdering her. On the run from police to find the real killer with the help of a street-smart young French girl, he slowly discovers that no one is what they seemed.
Walter is told by his boss, Sara, to deliver an urgent letter to Henri de Corinthe. On the way he finds a beautiful woman he had been eying in a nightclub, lying in the road, bound up.

In the morning, the girl, Marie-Ange, has vanished, the villa looks derelict, and his neck is bleeding. Was it all just a nightmare?
