Summary: In the late 1940s, in the forgotten town of Venice, California, a poor mystery writer sat in an empty tram car late at night when a storm hit. Along with the whine of the tram, a drunk man sat behind him, mumbling some words about death, but the writer never dared to turn his head and look at this man's appearance. After getting out of the car, he found a body in the dark canal. Over the next few days, a series of mysterious accidents begin to occur to those around him. The old canary woman who is bedridden all year round, the lousy hairdresser, the shrewd police detective, the female singer who never opens the door, the little old man with a face like Edgar Allan Poe, the outdated Hollywood actress... In this fog-shrouded town, who will be next on the death list? Who is the murderer hiding in the dark?
