Faris awakes; his wife and sick child missing, a dead body on the floor… he remembers nothing. Thrown into chaos, he suspects everyone… even himself.
Faris, a Lebanese Muslim living in the US, awakens to discover the dead body of his wife’s ex-husband. The murder weapon is in his hand, but Faris has no memory of killing him. He tries to get hold of his wife and child, but they are nowhere to be found. Faced with the choice of turning himself in for a crime he is unsure of committing or searching for his missing family, Faris decides to dispose of the body and uncover the truth before it’s too late. As rumours of his wife’s infidelity and domestic abuse ripples throughout the local community, it is suspected that Faris may have committed an honour killing. Unravelling the events that led to this fateful night, Faris begins to fear that he is, in fact, responsible for both the murder and his family’s disappearance.
