Over the course of the story, three different versions of the evening complicate the case. Flashing between the party and the interrogations, the detective tries to find the truth amongst everyone’s lies.

This elevated, sexy thriller pulls these characters into a dangerous fantasy. A night of shared secrets and newfound intimacies takes unexpected turns, creating an evening that will damage everyone forever.
