Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Young handsome millionaire marries former prostitute. During lovemaking the happy husband dies after drinking before taking his heart pills. His wife is accused of murder, but the lawyer ably proves that she is not to blame, and the case is closed. But everything may not be as simple as it seems, that behind this apparent simplicity lies some terrible secret...

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
