Synopsis

In this neo-noir thriller, police arrest a man for questioning over his neighbour's murder. Investigating cop Beatrice Kenosha enters a period of dark fascination with the mysterious stranger and his entangled, suppressed past - but only after he escapes her custody. It emerges, when he's on the run, that her suspect had been living as a recluse, shutting out the world and his tortured memories of a lost love.
