A dark psychological thriller about betrayal and revenge, where a wronged wife infiltrates her husband's affair under false pretenses, blending intimate character study with mounting moral ambiguity.

Saara is a middle-aged doctor who one day finds out that her architect-husband Leo is having an affair with a younger woman, Tuuli. Instead of revealing her true identity, Saara pretends to be someone else and makes friends with Tuuli. At the same time she is planning the best way to revenge her husband and his lover.
