In a secluded dwelling in the Swiss Alps, among a collection of guns, poison vials, and her own dark thoughts, lives Patricia Highsmith (“Oscar” winner Helen Mirren), the legendary and wicked author of several chilling crime novels. Her solitary world is unexpectedly disrupted by an unwelcome guest, Edward (Alden Ehrenreich), a young and ambitious publishing representative from New York. His mission is to convince the famous writer at any cost to write one more novel about her best-known creation, Tom Ripley, the charming and cold-blooded manipulator and killer.

But the writer has one strict rule - Edward must plan the perfect murder and get into the killer’s skin. By provoking him and almost driving him to the brink of madness, she delves into the darkest corners of his past. Meanwhile, viewers are drawn into a dual narrative in which the real world blends with a crime story of their own making - a tale full of passion, deceit, and murder about an ordinary guy who meets a rich girl and is determined to claim her family’s fortune.

The film is in English with subtitles in Latvian and Russian.
