One night, spying on her neighbors with binoculars, she witnesses a homicide that law enforcement officials later assure her was the first half of a murder-suicide. Disturbed by the killing, she goes to the police station where she meets artist Ashton Archer, the brother of the man who purportedly killed himself. He believes that his sibling was incapable of such violence and is convinced that he was murdered. Together these newfound allies search for the truth about the crime and wrestle with their own emotions about each other.
