During a night robbery the woman of the house is killed. Before leaving the scene of the crime, the assassin feels a strange presence: a child is looking at him in the darkness of the house. Years later he will encounter the child, now a beautiful young woman. Her presence will produce in the assassin feelings of insecurity and attraction which will change his life forever.
