Storyline
| Plot Summary |
An anorexic young woman escapes from a psychiatric clinic and meets a young man who wants to help. She is caught and returned to her parents, who are soon beheaded by a garrotting stranger making the rounds about town, apparently striking only when it rains. The orphaned young woman and her new lover launch their own investigation and are endangered when a link is discovered between the victims and a particular operation that was performed years before.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The character played by Asia Argento is inspired by her half-sister Anna (Nicolodi's daughter from a previous marriage) who actually suffered from anorexia. Anna died in a scooter accident in 1994 shortly after the film's release, but she is seen in the actual movie during the closing credits dancing in the balcony. See more » |
| Goofs | The newscaster says that Dr. Judd died on impact at the scene of the accident, but he actually delivers some last words before succumbing. See more » |
