The Laughing Woman Synopsis
Beautiful PR woman, Maria finds herself trapped in the home of the sinister and troubled Dr. Sayer, where she is subjected to a series of increasingly bizarre, terrifying, and degrading sex games.

But all is not what it seems, and through a series of twists and turns, the whole situation is slowly turned on its head.
