American tourist Frank meets a mysterious beauty who drags him into a dangerous world of intrigue and espionage while traveling through Europe in this paranoid thriller.

Little did Frank realize it was all part of a much bigger plan, one that would soon find him dodging bullets through both the historic streets of Paris and the winding canals of Venice. Now, the faster Frank and Elise run, the more intense their romance grows.
