The official synopsis reads:
Dario Argento deals a different kind of giallo. A sadistic, faceless killer snatches women off the streets of Rome and forces the police into a sickening game: play him at poker. If they win, the victim survives. If they lose, then the victim dies and it's over, live on screen.Stefania Rocca (The Talented Mr Ripley) and Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones) chase a ghost in the machine in a film that feels more relevant now than ever - a story about watching, being watched, and who's really in control of the screen.
