Adrian LeDuc (Colin Firth) is a cash-strapped loner eking out a living running a revival cinema in modern-day Buenos Aires. With interest in classic films waning, he's forced to rent out his insane mother's room to a seemingly harmless stranger, Jack Carney (Hart Bochner). They quickly become friends, but as Adrian displays the same problems that plagued his mother, he also begins to suspect his roommate is a killer.

Notes
Richard and I are both fans of mysteries and thrillers -- This is a fine example of the genre with gay undercurrents -- The sexual tension as the two men look each other over is electric and Adrian's closeted sexuality is apparent -- However, there is no overt sexual activity between them -- Who is Jack?
