Living a secretive and paranoid existence, Caul becomes consumed by guilt when he suspects that a couple he is covertly spying on may be in danger of being murdered.

Set against the backdrop of San Francisco, the film masterfully explores themes of privacy, guilt, and deception. Caul, brilliantly portrayed by Gene Hackman, is a character driven by his own internal struggles. As his conscience gnaws at him, Caul becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the truth.
