The Red Knife

Thomas and Angelo were once in love with the same woman - a woman who perished ten years ago under mysterious circumstances. Having never gotten over their shared loss, the former classmates diverge on their paths: Thomas, the idle millionaire who rarely leaves his luxury apartment; Angelo, the struggling attorney whose mental equilibrium keeps teetering. But when Angelo seemingly encounters the deceased Ella Kessel on a business trip to Italy, Thomas turns to his long-suffering confidante to heal the wounds of the past. Angelo, however, takes a different tack and consults a "biographer of the vanished" -- not knowing the true abilities of his hireling.
