The three-some's little idyll goes from sordid to ugly, however, as Reve begins to experience a series of fantasies that turn out to be real-life omens and supernatural warnings of all sorts...

The question is, will one or the other of them meet with murder (or just incredibly bad luck) after conjoining with her? The answer is, who cares?, especially as she is played with a placid lack of threat by Renée Sontendijk...
