After a night out in San Francisco that he cannot remember, an accountant (O’Brien) awakes to discover that he has been poisoned with a “luminous toxin” and has less than a week to live. He proceeds to tear the city apart in search of his own killer. Renowned cinematographer Rudolph Maté (The Passion of Joan of Arc, Gilda) infuses this minimalist noir-classic with atmospheric urgency.
