Night-time, a peal of thunder, a castle by the sea, a severed head roIls across a carpeted fIoor, a bIood-stained sword Iies next to it... Meanwhile poIice are in hot pursuit of a criminaI who is evading capture on a speeding motorbike. He takes refuge in the overgrown castle grounds, and he sees a dark-haired woman burying a corpse in a shalIow grave. 13 years later, after being recaptured and serving his sentence, the man returns to the castle, intent on bIackmail, and maybe a few other things. |
