One night Marc brings home his student Barbara, only to discover, to his horror, her lifeless body lying next to him the next day. Instead of calling the police, he disposes of her body in a remote gorge--a decision with consequences that catapult him into an ever-quickening spiral of suspicion and self-doubt.
