Plot
Lord Hugo Bruckton was a young Englishman who was the heir of great wealth. She is married to Ginny, who seems faithful and loyal to her, and they have a young son. But Hugo was haunted by jealousy, for he imagined Ginny in the arms of a colleague. She starts to spy on herself and becomes angry at her alleged affair. One night, after a social gathering with members of his old British Army regiment, Hugo and his friends went out to drive. He accidentally hit a woman, who died at the scene. All but one of his friends urged Hugo to drive. In his drunken mind, Hugo imagined himself running over Ginny.
Over the next few days, there was a psychological war. Peter, Hugo's business associate, wanted to use a cover-up to capitalize on plantations. Jamie, who was dating Hugo's sister, wanted to go to the police to report it. The Hugo family closes the rankings as Ginny and others with Hugo, who fear that his arrest and imprisonment will damage the family's reputation. When the police investigation approached Hugo, power struggles brought deadly consequences.
In the end, Hugo and Peter kill Jamie and arrange it to look like a suicide - that Jamie is driving the car that killed the woman - and she has committed suicide because she felt guilty by throwing her body off a beach cliff.. The police trust the story and close the case, and the immoral Hugo releases everything as he continues his unholy, dirty, unhealthy life.

In the New York Times Review Diamond Skull; Aristocracy Today Thinks Nobody Sees, Janet Maslin considers that "rarely documentary filmmakers make the transition to fiction like clever as Nicholas Broomfield in Dark Obession, a psychological thriller featuring appeal a documentary to tell the small details. "Maslin praises" a scary score by Hans Zimmer, a fearsome performance by Struan Rodger as a cold-blooded business associate of Sir Hugo and a person who does not know about the inclusion of many strange parts of traditionalism that have made people- people like Sir Hugo being what they are.
