Resume: Andrew Francis is an unstable man he believes that his wife, Maria Francis, is unaware of him being a serial killer. He writes the accounts of the murders in his diary and narrates the film. There are flashbacks of murders of girls whilst he is writing in a diary and narrating them. The first killing in the film shows outside a tunnel where it seems he is following the girl and kills her with a brick. The second killing is where it seems he's following a girl down a ginnel and kills her with by repeatedly beating her then walking away after the murder has taken place. He returns home and gets a drink from the fridge, after he takes a drink he pauses and suddenly he drops the can, it then cuts to Maria writing in the diary, then it cuts back to Andrew turning his head. It cuts back to Maria who is flicking through the pages in the diary and then back to Andrew looking around to reveal Maria aiming a gun at him. It cuts back to Maria now writing in the diary just like Andrew did before then it goes back to Andrew who's been shot in the head, he drops the can as before and sinks to the ground dead. There's a flashback of Maria putting pills in Andrew's drink to show she's been drugging him and giving it to him. The film ends with Maria putting the diary back on a shelf with subjective narration this time in her voice implying she was the killer all along.
