When Addison Terrill's wife Becky is brutally murdered suspicion automatically falls on him. The fact the words "We're even now" were written on the bedroom wall next to her body seem to the police to make this a water tight case. But Addison claims he is innocent and if that is the case then everyone around him, including his best friend and partner Sam, Sam's loving wife Sarah (who babysits the Terrills' young son), even a disgraced cop he successfully prosecuted in the past, are potentially guilty. With time and evidence against him Addison and his unusual ally must race to clear his name.
