Als hij het huis betreedt en de tv-camera's ziet, de verslaggever tegen hem hoort schreeuwen over zijn seksuele omgang met een minderjarige en de politie hem in de boeien slaat, beseft Dan dat zijn leven voorbij is. Drie maanden later is Dan verdwenen, dood gewaand nadat de vader van het slachtoffer verklaarde de verkrachter van zijn dochter te hebben vermoord. Wendy, de journaliste die Dan voor de ogen van de natie wist te ontmaskeren, volgt op dat moment het verhaal van een vermist meisje uit een nabijgelegen wijk. Maar dan krijgt Wendy een vreemd telefoontje. Enkele lang verborgen geheimen komen bovendrijven, en Wendy vraagt zich af of ze destijds wel echt zo'n goed onderzoek heeft gedaan, of dat een onschuldige man het slachtoffer is geworden van een veel groter schandaal.
