Shell-shocked, vulnerable, and harassed as a suspect by police detective Joanne Brennan, Victor quits his job for the tranquility of his lakeshore cabin in the Highlands.
When Danny's femme fatale sister, Kelly, arrives to comfort her brother, she lets slip a horrific family secret. Her true feelings about Danny re-ignite Victor's nagging suspicion of his friend.
Slowly, Victor understands that everything since that drunken night has been part of a desperate and cunning deception that finally unmasks his wife's deranged killer...
