In the heart of Canada, the paths of Andrew Garfield, a diligent attorney, and Jane Claire, a deaf and seemingly oppressed artist, converge in an art exhibition. Andrew's rudimentary knowledge of sign language, a vestige of a past relationship, becomes the key to unlock a passionate affair with Jane. This fervent relationship takes a brutal turn when Jane's millionaire husband, Noby Claire, stumbles upon their intimate secret. Caught in the crossfire of Noby's rage, Andrew defends himself with a hidden firearm, resulting in Noby's untimely end. Rather than confess, Andrew embarks on a desperate mission to conceal his guilt, navigating through a labyrinth of deception and suspense. Meanwhile, the police's suspicion falls on Jane, casting Andrew into a complex dilemma. He must now defend Jane from the law's accusing glare, all while steering clear of his own incrimination. As Andrew's brilliant defense of Jane unfolds, he reaps more than just a hefty paycheck. Publicity from the case presents him with a tantalizing opportunity for career advancement. Yet, the murder of Frank Rutter, a former client who assisted Andrew in his investigation, unearths a chilling revelation. Andrew finds himself ensnared in a cunning set-up, designed to secure Jane's inheritance at the cost of his freedom. As he ventures deeper into the intrigue, he uncovers the existence of another conspirator, adding a new layer to the spiraling mystery.
