Storyline
A top surgeon is besotted with a beautiful woman who once ditched him. Unable to come to terms with life without her, he tries to convince her that they need each other. She has other ideas, but an horrific accident leaves her at his mercy. The plot is bizarre and perhaps sick at times, ending abruptly and with a twist.

Short Review
Both the beauty and her beastly pursuer remain too blankly generic for the implications of the movie's main metaphor to come through vividly.
