In this knuckle-biting thriller, Eva (Trudie Styler) is trapped in her Los Angeles apartment, terrorized by a deadly, hormonally berserk African snake planted by her estranged husband, Gene (Gregg Henry). Henry is cleverly diabolical as a bad guy that Variety calls a "pleasure to hate." Styler, the wife of rock star Sting, mesmerizes as Eva, a vulnerable sculptress, betrayed and alone, suddenly forced into a battle for her life.
