Two men meet in the picturesque backstreets of Athens.

Chester MacFarland is a conman with multiple false identities, near the end of his rope and on the run with his young wife Colette.

Rydal Keener is a young drifter looking for adventure: he finds it in one evening as the law catches up to Chester and Colette, and their fates become fatally entwined. Patricia Highsmith draws us deep into a cross-European game of cat and mouse in this masterpiece of suspense from the author of The Talented Mr Ripley. Now a major film starring Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst and Oscar Isaac (Drive, Inside Llewelyn Davis).

This special edition includes a foreword by director and screenwriter Hossein Amini.
