Tom Ripley has it all - a lavish French villa, a world-class art collection, and a wealthy wife. But his serene life shatters when a phone call from London threatens to expose the art forgery scheme he masterminded years ago. Now Ripley must rush to London to stop a nosy American from asking too many questions. In this gripping psychological thriller, Ripley will stop at nothing to protect his twisted web of lies, even if it means resorting to his murderous tendencies once again.
