Nuda sotto una pioggia torrenziale, una donna è aggrappata al parapetto di un ponte, sospesa sul vuoto, in bilico sui tacchi delle sue scarpe rosse. Sulla pancia ha una scritta fatta col rossetto "Puttana", e all'orecchio un cellulare. Piange e supplica. Ma quando il noto psicologo Joseph O'Loughlin le si avvicina per parlarle e salvarla, la donna gli sussurra solo una cosa: "Lei non capisce." Poi, si lascia cadere. Un drammatico suicidio, una brutta storia finita male.

Avvolto in una rete di inganni, ossessionato dall'immagine della ragazza uccisa, ricercato dalla polizia che lo accusa di due omicidi, Joe va alla ricerca della verità che può restituirgli ciò che ha perduto.
