Scotty is retired detective who accepts an offer from an old friend who asks Scotty to follow his wife, who has started to act like she was under some kind of a curse or spirit. While Scotty starts to follow here he unpreventively falls in love with her, but when her behaviour takes a hole new elements, Scotty finds himself standing in a churchtower,while his loved one has jumped down, Scotty unable to save her because of his vertigo - a fear of high places. Scotty becomes more obsessed with the woman, and the character we have used to think as the normal one seems to be insanely obsessed... As will you, when you see it.
