Best-selling author Judith Ralitzer is researching unlikely places to find characters for her next bestseller. As luck would have it, a serial killer with a penchant for magic tricks has just escaped from a high security prison....providing the perfect source material for an intricately plotted, moody mystery. Deceptively layered and intriguingly misleading, this highly anticipated new film Oscar-winning director Claude LeLouch (A Man and A Woman) stars Dominique Pinon and Fanny Ardant as an unlikely pair caught up in a game with high stakes - and deadly consequences.
