A wealthy New Orleans businessman (Robertson) loses his wife to kidnappers. Still overcome with grief and guilt 15 years later, he meets her double in Venice, Italy. Working from a script by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver), De Palma has crafted a stylish and loving homage to Vertigo, right down to the lush original music composed by Bernard Herrmann.
