A huge bank account, beautiful women, a yacht, a gentle sea - this is the sweet life that Tom Ripley so wants to have and which Philip Greenleaf already has. Philip doesn't even know what Tom is willing to do to make his life his own. First murder, then forgery of documents, signatures, voices... And the poor adventurer turns into a millionaire. But even the most skillful fake always remains only a copy, even if the talented Mr. Ripley worked on it.
