Synopsis
À la suite d'une déconvenue professionnelle, une jeune graphiste montréalaise, Sophie Malaterre, décide d'échanger son appartement pour les vacances avec une Parisienne, Bénédicte Serteaux, via un site internet : switch.com. Mais, le lendemain matin de son arrivée à Paris, la police débarque dans l'appartement et révèle la présence d'un cadavre décapité dans une chambre dont la porte était fermée à clé la veille. Qui plus est, il n'y a pas de Sophie Malaterre sur les listes de vol en provenance de Montréal, et le site switch.com n'existe pas.Actors

Tom Ripley is a young man struggling to make a living in 1950s New York City using his "talents"—forgery, lying and impersonation. While playing piano at a cocktail party in New York City, he is approached by wealthy shipbuilder Herbert Greenleaf, who mistakenly believes that Ripley went to Princeton with his son, Dickie, because Ripley is wearing a borrowed Princeton blazer. Greenleaf recruits Ripley to travel to Italy and persuade Dickie to return to the United States, for which he will pay Ripley $1,000 (equivalent to $8 804 in 2015). Ripley accepts the proposal, even though he did not attend Princeton and has never met Dickie.
