Synopsis

Danger, lust and fear combine in an erotic game. Carl is on the run from a gang intent on killing him. In desperation he seeks refuge in an expensive restaurant where a beautiful woman is dining alone. Cornered, he knows that one false move from either of them will cost him his life. But desire is about to lay its own subtle trap. Based on a short story by German cult writer Hans Herbst.
