Hollow Triumph

A small-time crook, Johnny Torrence, flees Los Angeles after a robbery gone wrong. He ends up in a small town where he encounters Evelyn, a woman who looks remarkably like his recently deceased wife. He attempts to assume the identity of a psychiatrist who bears a striking resemblance to him, but this impersonation leads him into a dangerous web of deceit and escalating danger.
