Thelonious Pitt, a daydreaming businessman, goes to the Redwood Forests of California. There, he meets a beautiful woman, Melanie. She looks like the woman he has been seeing in his dreams.

At the river late at night, when Melanie's husband finds them, he attacks Thelonious until Melanie pulls out a pistol and fires three shots at her husband. His body goes into the river. That is when the nightmare begins.

Reception

Fred Haeseker of the Calgary Herald called the film, "a blunt stab at a traditional California film noir" and that it "stirs up not so much lurid menace as unrelieved tedium."[1]
