In this classic psychological thriller, Daniel’s lost wife returns to him… as a total stranger. Is he losing his mind or has he become the victim of a twisted conspiracy playing out in the isolated French Alps? As suspense grows and the twists mount up, can Daniel survive one incredible final revelation?
