An undercover policewoman, Anna Manni, visits Florence's Uffizi Gallery and becomes disoriented by the disturbing beauty of the masterpieces on display. Soon thereafter, transfixed before Brueghel's "The Flight of Icarus," she faints and plunges into the painting's ocean. A handsome stranger helps her to her feet... But, in reality, this seemingly kind stranger is a serial rapist and murderer, the very one which she has been sent to apprehend. Once she recovers from her extreme amnesiatic reaction to the artwork--identified by a psychiatrist as "Stendhal Syndrome"--she discovers, all too late, that she has made herself vulnerable to the enemy.
