After being released from prison on a bum charge, Harry Barber is out for payback to regain his lost two years. He's hired by Mrs. Malroux to fake the kidnapping of her stepdaughter (the daughter of a dying millionaire). He discovers that he is being set up on multiple levels and will soon face a longer sentence if he doesn't prove the truth.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A noir-soaked trap where every seemingly clever move ensnares you deeper. Harry stumbles into a scheme designed to destroy him, and the film takes sadistic pleasure in watching the walls close in.
