Deep Water by Patricia Highsmith

两名主演有望饰一对感情有问题的夫妻，双方达成协议：妻子Melinda在外面任找多少情人都可以，只要她不抛弃家人。而随后，丈夫Vic开始抑制不住自己的嫉妒，想要赢回妻子，为此最终卷入了犯罪。

In Deep Water, set in the quiet, small town of Little Wesley, Patricia Highsmith has created a vicious and suspenseful tale of love gone sour.

Vic and Melinda Van Allen’s loveless marriage is held together only by a precarious arrangement whereby, in order to avoid the messiness of divorce, Melinda is allowed to take any number of lovers as long as she does not desert her family. Eventually, Vic can no longer suppress his jealousy and tries to win back his wife by asserting himself through a tall tale of murder—one that soon comes true.

In this complex portrayal of a dangerous psychosis emerging in the most unlikely of places, Highsmith examines the chilling reality behind the idyllic facade of American suburban life.
