A dead lawyer gets gender-swapped revenge and catches feelings for his own killer. Wild.
Daniel is the alpha shark of the waters, a lawyer with no conscience, not even among his peers. Unfortunately for Daniel, his personality has compelled some of his colleagues and his lovers to conspire against him, resulting in his untimely demise. But all is not lost as Daniel is given a second chance? a chance for revenge. Payback is the story of a man with no redeeming qualities and the women that once loved him. The conspiracy that ensues leaves no one innocent as Daniel comes back for revenge. Daniel's vengeance is served in the form of a woman, Jackie, and she is pissed. As Jackie picks through her murderous lovers one by one, she looses sight of what her purpose is and falls for the one she originally set out to destroy in her previous life as Daniel.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
François Clousot directed numerous adult features in the 2000s; this was among his more plot-ambitious attempts at crossing over.
The 'dead man possesses woman's body for revenge' premise echoes 1990s erotic thrillers like 'The Hidden' but with the gender politics even more scrambled.
