A noir-inflected legal thriller that traps a murderer on the jury of his own victim's case, exploring guilt, judgment, and the fragility of justice through mounting psychological tension.

In a moment of madness a middle-aged, married and respectable pharmacist kills a young woman who is sun-bathing by a lake. Unable to take in what he has done, he flees from the scene of the crime and behaves as if nothing has happened. Eventually her boyfriend is charged with the crime and, in a strange twist of fate, the killer finds himself serving on the jury.
