A chance meeting between two strangers on a train spirals into a deadly game of manipulation and murder. Tennis star Guy Haines wants to divorce his unfaithful wife so he can marry a senator’s daughter. Bruno Antony, a charming yet disturbed man, suggests a chilling plan: they "swap murders" — Bruno will kill Guy’s wife, and Guy will kill Bruno’s father. Since they have no apparent connection, the crimes would be untraceable.
Guy laughs off the suggestion, believing it's a joke. But Bruno isn’t joking. When Guy’s wife turns up dead, Bruno expects Guy to uphold his end of the “deal.” As Bruno grows more obsessive, Guy finds himself trapped in a web of guilt, suspicion, and fear, trying to prove his innocence while preventing another murder.
