About the Show:

This masterfully constructed thriller moves from one moment of suspense to another as it builds toward an electrifying, breath-stopping final scene!

A dangerous and sinister con man, Roat, is about to meet his match.

He traces the location of a mysterious doll to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Sam had been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll across the Canadian border, not knowing that sewn inside were several grams of heroin.

When the woman is murdered, the situation becomes more urgent.

The con man and his associates, through a cleverly constructed deception, convince Susy that the police have implicated Sam in the woman’s murder and the doll, which she believes is the key to his innocence, is evidence. She refuses to reveal its location and with the help of a young neighbor, figures out she is the victim of a bizarre charade.

When Roat kills his associates, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues between the two. Susy knows the only way to play fair is by her rules.

When darkness falls, she turns off all the lights, leaving them both to maneuver in the dark until the game ends.
