After the sudden death of her husband, a prominent District Attorney, Nivea McKenzie refuses to accept the official account and sets out to find who is responsible. Her investigation drags her through courthouse corridors, backroom deals, and the shadowy corners of a life she thought she knew, forcing her to confront colleagues, enemies, and buried grievances that suggest his death was no accident.
As she digs deeper, Nivea uncovers hidden alliances, secret histories, and contradictions that upend everything she believed about the man she married; each revelation increases the danger and narrows the circle of trust. The film blends legal suspense with intimate drama, following her relentless pursuit of truth and the wrenching realizations about loyalty, identity, and how little we can ever be sure of the people closest to us.
