Frank Chambers is a drifter and he's broke. One day, he finds himself in front of a diner somewhere in the California desert, run by the Greek Papadakis and his beautiful young wife Cora. Cora can't stand her husband, but she is drawn to the drifter Frank even more. A problem that only has one solution, a solution that brings many more problems in its wake. Problems for which there is no solution. The world is rarely darker than in Cain's tale. In it, ruthlessness and a greed for sex and money reign. Everyone looks out for themselves. Thus, Cain relentlessly drives his anti-hero to ruin. Unabridged reading with Stefan Kaminski, 3 CDs, approximately 3 hours and 57 minutes.
