Synopsis

A contemporary Hitchcockian thriller set in the Italian Med.
Following the tragic death of his wife, American doctor Tom Darcey escapes to Italy in an effort to cope with his loss. Meeting the beautiful yet enigmatic Alessa on a train, the two quickly form a close bond - Alessa is not without her own secrets and they seem to share a similar pain. Tom hasn’t felt a close connection with anyone since his wife died and the two spend the night together.
But When Tom awakens the next morning to find Alessa gone, and everyone else denying having ever seen her, he starts to question his own sanity. Did he even meet Alessa? Does she even exist? Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by a mysterious set of figures, Tom becomes obsessed with tracking Alessa down and finding out the truth behind her mysterious disappearance, unravelling a web of obsession, deceit and murder, where nothing is quite what it seems…
