About this movie

In hurricane-lashed, carnival-time Puerto Rico, a killer of young girls is on the loose. Three young girls have been murdered in the last month and Harry Hearst, a rich and powerful lawyer on the island, discovers the body of the latest victim. When Capt. Victor Benezet, the chief of police, asks Hearst to clear up a couple of points about his discovery, it seems nothing more than routine. Instead, Hearst is given third degree, with a young cop Detective Owen probing into the dark secrets of the lawyer's private life, especially his sex life and relationship with his young and beautiful trophy wife, Chantal, 30 years his junior. The brash attorney's story starts to reveal a number of cracks, that only open wider and wider.
