International star Asia Argento portrays anna Manni, a beautiful police detective in pursuit of a sabage serial killer-rapist that has been terrorizing central Italy. When his trail leads Anna to Florence's famed Uffizi Museum, the investigationtakes a violent psychotic turn. Anna is struck by the bizarre phenomenon known as the Stendhal Syndrome, a psychological reaction to artwork that makes the viewer fall unconscious; and in Anna's case, vulnerable to the terror she is tracking. For her, the artwork begins to come to life. It terrorizes and brutalizes her as she tries to hunt down the depraved slasher.

As she hets closer to the vicio8us killer, her strange affliction transports her into nightmares of carnage. Her prey has now become her predator. Anna must destroy the killer before she is destroyed by The Stendhal Syndrome.
