A dark tale set in Venice, about a con-man/writer, Stanley Baker who seems to have it all: an international best-seller that's already a hit film, a house in Rome, a venetian farmhouse, not to mention a sweet and gorgeous fiancee, yet he's bitter. Stanley meets his existential match in mod courtesan/prostitute Eva, a pointy-pumped, heavy eye-lined emotional dominatrix--and her cruel, casual maneuverings force Baker to confront his past as both a man and an artist. Stanley becomes so obsessed with a sexy prostitute that it drives him to want to kill Eva in order to get her out of his mind.
