Official synopsis

Turim. Quatro inocentes morrem em um atentado. Phillippa (Cate Blanchett), uma professora de inglês, não oferece resistência e permite que a prendam. Ela não nega seu ato, sua culpa. Mas seu alvo era outra pessoa: um traficante. Um jovem policial (Giovanni Ribisi) é o único que acredita na história da inglesa, pois está secretamente apaixonado por ela. Ele desenvolve um plano que lhe devolverá a liberdade, mesmo que isto custe sua carreira ou até mesmo sua vida. Ele sabe que não deve pedir nada em troca para provar seu amor. E sabe que não pode se arrepender de sua decisão.
