The story centers on a successful businessman in the high-tech sector who is accused of murder, focusing on the ensuing interrogation process.

Plot

The film begins with Adrián Doria, a successful businessman, being taken into custody in a mountain hotel room alongside the corpse of his lover, Laura. In order to build a reliable defense, Adrián meets with Virginia Goodman, an experienced lawyer specializing in witness preparation and legal statements. As Adrián begins recounting the events from the beginning, Virginia starts to notice inconsistencies in his story. During the interrogation, connections are revealed between the current situation and a past car accident involving Adrián and Laura, which resulted in the death of a man named Daniel Garrido.
