A noir-inflected thriller about infidelity and deception, where a woman's lie about a lover's death unravels under legal and moral scrutiny.

Christine Hunter kills an intruder and tells her husband and lawyer that it was an act of self-defense. It's later revealed that he was actually her lover and she had posed for an incriminating statue he created.
