Riassunto

Matthew Bourne's self-centered existence, which revolves around his mistress, his wife, and his high-flying career, is shattered when his colleague's wife dies tragically and he is called to identify the body--a compassionate gesture that plunges him into a world of murder, terror, and betrayal.
