在这部无果之路爱情/惊悚片中,年轻的美国导演米切尔｀哈文刚刚为他的下一部大作找到了素材——一个围绕着美丽的维尔玛和她的政客情夫拉斐而展开的真实的犯罪故事。他们在欺诈计划败露之后，枪杀了州长代表，最终这对时运不济的情侣戏剧性地双双自尽。
There's a murky tenuous balance between reality and fiction; particularly when it involves a beautiful young woman, murder, a powerful politico, a missing fortune and suicide. A passionate filmmaker creating a film based upon a true crime casts an unknown mysterious young woman bearing a disturbing resemblance to the femme fatale in the story. Unsuspectingly, he finds himself drawn into a complex web of haunting intrigue, obsessed with the woman, the crime, her possibly notorious past and the disturbing complexity between art and truth. From the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina to Verona, Rome and London, new truths are revealed and clues to other crimes and passions, darker and even more complex are uncovered.
