False Identity

A French-Canadian assassin is hired to kill a wealthy industrialist in Argentina. To get close to his target, he assumes the identity of the man's dead son. However, he becomes entangled with the industrialist's beautiful and enigmatic wife, leading to a dangerous game of deception and desire.
