V sanjskem trilerju ljubosumni glasbenik umori ženo. Pa res? Nič ni, kakor je videti – v gnusni sestavljanki spreminjajočih se osebnosti, čudnih strasti in strašljive napetosti kultnega režiserja Davida Lyncha. Fred je avantgardni džezovski saksofonist, ki razkošno in moderno prazno hišo deli z ženo Renee. Fred sumi, da mu je nezvesta, a ima večje skrbi od tega, ko se pred njegovimi vrati pojavi niz videokaset s posnetki, ki dokazujejo, kako nekdo opazuje njegov dom od znotraj in od zunaj. Potem ko najdejo umorjeno Renee, se Fred znajde za rešetkami – a nekega dne ga ni več v celici. Kaže, da se je telesno spremenil v Peta Draytona, mladega avtomehanika, ki se je nespametno zapletel z ženo mafijskega šefa Dicka Laurenta; bohotno blondinko po imenu Alice, ki je videti natanko tako kot Renee.
