SYNOPSIS

Based on Douglas Kennedy’s novel, co-written by Pawlikowski and novelist, American writer Tom Ricks (Hawke) arrives in Paris to be closer to his daughter, Chloé, who recently moved there with her mother. Completely broke, he accepts a job as a night guard for a local mob boss. Down in a basement, his only task is to push a button when a bell rings. The tranquility of the night, he hopes, will help him focus on a letter to his daughter. Soon his days become more exciting than his nights when he starts a romance with Margit (Scott Thomas), a mysterious and elegant widow who sets strange rules to their meetings: she will only see him at her apartment, at 5pm sharp, twice a week. And he’s to ask no questions about her work, her past, her life...As people suddenly start dying around Tom, he begins to believe that a dark force has entered his life, punishing anyone who has recently done him wrong. When the police accuse him of murdering his neighbor, Tom tries to use his weekly visits to Margit’s apartment as an alibi, only to find out nobody has lived at this address for the past 15 years.
