Suave philosophy professor and loving family man, Evan Birch, is still trying to put the past behind him, and the hurtful experience that almost ruined his marriage several years earlier. However, the refined intellectual lands in a tight spot once again, when popular high-school cheerleader Joyce Bonner goes missing, bringing grizzled police detective Malloy to his doorstep. Little by little, minor slips of the tongue and strange inconsistencies in his statements will make Evan the prime suspect, putting to the test his already-shaky alibi. Is Evan really involved in the young girl's disappearance?
