Carefree and happy was the life of lawyer Dan Gallagher with his young wife Beth and young daughter until the fateful day when the wife and child went out of town to her parents. Feeling a fleeting attraction to Alex Forrest - a new employee of the firm he serves, he was flattered by the lady's reciprocity and had an affair with her.
By the end of the second day Dan wanted to return to his family hearth, but it turned out that now he was caught in the dead grip of a real maniac. First she slit her wrists, and panic-stricken Dan had to bandage her hands and comfort her. And when Dan managed to escape from Alex to his home, his life turned into a real nightmare.
