A mysterious man looks back on the world of the living from his altered perspective. A wealthy couple have kept a terrible secret, a married man with a comfortable life does his best to destroy it and a promiscuous woman is searching for the missing part of her life. Deceit and infidelity, loss and pain conspire to build a terrible environment that demands sacrifice of its characters. The dark corners of humanity are starkly illuminated to banish any wilful naivety and show the capacity for evil that exists in most of us. Even those that seek justice are corrupted by self-seeking avarice and few characters pass through this scenario untainted.
