PLOT:
Unable to come to terms with the untimely demise of their little daughter, and the silent undercurrent of insufferable guilt, John Baxter and his wife, Laura, relocate to cold, winter Venice, in Italy. There, against the backdrop of an endless spate of horrifying murders in the city's meandering canals, John uses his work, the restoration of an old chapel, to channel his suppressed grief, while Laura resorts to taking pills. Then, a chance encounter with the cryptic siblings, the blind psychic, Heather, and Wendy, her eccentric sister, triggers eerie visions of the beloved deceased, while in the meantime, a sinister figure in a glossy red anorak terrorizes the dark back alleys of the now-off-season town. Could the mysterious sisters be telling the truth? Is sceptic John's life, indeed, in grave danger?
