Death and Desire

A beautiful wife, an earldom, an important position in London's financial world - fortune has smiled favourably on Hugo Buckton (Gabriel Byrne)... Or so it would seem. A fiercely possessive husband, Hugo is being burned alive by fears that his wife Ginny (Amanda Donohoe) is having an affair with her handsome business partner, Raul. A drunken night with old friends turns into a nightmare, when Hugo, at the wheel of a car, runs over a young woman. In panic, they drive on leaving the woman to die. (Verleiher-Text)
