The Accident -- On a cold desert night, Alice wakes behind the wheel of a '67 Mustang that she has crashed into a light pole. Her travels lead her to a seedy motel where she has to piece together what happened before the accident.

Darling -- In the middle of the night, a lone man is tormented by a woman's voice...

A British schoolteacher, Nicholas, has left his girlfriend to take a job on a small island in Greece, replacing a man who committed suicide under mysterious circumstances. Nicholas meets Conchis, "The Magus" (meaning magician), a wealthy recluse with a mysterious past that might include collaboration with the Nazis. The Magus's companion, Lily, is just as suspicious, lurking around in a ghostly state of paranoia. Slowly but surely, Nicholas is drawn into a bizarre game masterminded by this magician. The deeper into the game he is drawn, the more he senses danger...yet he cannot seem to untangle himself from the fascinating and compelling influence that the game is having on his mind.

This is the horrifying true account of John Reginald Christie, whose crimes and subsequent trial summarily ended capital punishment in Britain. After savagely murdering a woman and her newborn baby, Christie was able to convince a jury that the woman's husband was the actual perpetrator. Years later, Christie admitted his guilt and a shocked nation learned an innocent man had been put to death.
