International con artist/thief Laure Ash helps pull off a diamond robbery in Cannes during the annual film festival. She double-crosses her partners-in-crime and makes off with the diamonds to Paris where she accidentally assumes the identity of a distraught woman who commits suicide and then leaves the country. Seven years later, Laure (now called Lily Watts) re-surfaces as the wife of the new American ambassador to France where a certain Nicolas Barto, a Spanish photographer, takes her picture thereby setting the stage for a motion of events as the evil Laure resorts to low, underhanded means to protect her former identity.

John Stamos, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos's husband, is uncredited as the "cheesey agent" who contacts Antonio's character on the phone.

Nicolas Bardo:
I'm sorry... You look so familiar. Haven't we met before, somewhere?


Laure Ash:
Only in my dreams.

Continuity: When Bardo photographs Laure Ash in the room above the sex shop, his camera is turned vertically. When the film cuts to the view through the camera, the camera view is horizontal.
