A missing body, a suspicious widower, a relentless inspector. What if the dead aren’t really dead?

When the body of wealthy and charismatic businesswoman Rebecca Zuin mysteriously disappears from the morgue after her sudden death from a suspected heart attack, and the night watchman is hit by a car, leaving him in a coma, Inspector Corrado Cosser is called in to investigate. Suspicion falls on Rebecca’s younger, handsome husband, Bruno Furlan, but as more secrets emerge, Bruno himself begins to question whether Rebecca is really dead or playing a cruel, perverse game from beyond the grave.

With gripping performances and atmospheric, noir-like cinematography, this cleverly structured psychological thriller spins a web of deceit, doubt and masterful twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.
