Synopsis
Une compétition de bateaux, disputée par les partenaires Marco et Burt, tourne mal lorsque la mécanique de l'un des navires s'enraye. Les deux hommes se jettent à l'eau mais Marco est gravement blessé. Grâce à une intervention chirurgicale au cerveau, autorisée par Burt et leur amie Terry, Marco se réveille mais il est désormais amnésique. Après l’opération, il revient chez lui où sa femme Monica, son ami Tommy et Terry s’occupent de lui. Mais l'atmosphère s'avère être pesante et oppressante. Marco se met à sentir des non-dits, comme si, avant l'accident, certaines choses avaient été laissées en suspens. Bientôt, il soupçonne même une présence. D'autres images défilent : des souvenirs qui ressurgissent jusqu'au tourment, d'autant que Monica se refuse sexuellement à Marco, ajoutant ainsi à sa confusion. Non loin de la demeure, le jardinier lui annonce anonymement qu'un complot se trame contre lui et qu'il souhaite en parler avec lui. Mais il est aussitôt assassiné à coups de couteau... Puis le commissaire annonce à Marco qu'il a été victime d'un sabotage lors de la course. Paranoïaque, découvre que son épouse Monica n'est pas étrangère à cette machination.Actors
