Linda, a flight attendant, arrives in Torino to see her sister Celine, a model, and learns that Celine never came home. The sergeant on duty sends her to Inspector Enzo Avolfi, an Italian-American detective whose special unit in New York hunts a man known as Yellow. The inspector fears the case is worse than a simple kidnapping. Yellow takes foreign women for rides in an unlicensed cab, drugs them and photographs what he does to them. When a woman is found alive beside a fountain and speaks only Japanese, a translator tells Enzo and Linda that she repeated the word yellow.
