An attractive woman goes to see a private detective in his office; she tells him that she thinks her husband is cheating and needs proof before the divorce proceedings can begin. Very quickly into the investigation, he confirmed the infidelity, on top of everything, the husband's infidelity partner happened to be the married governor. When he contacts the woman, her phone has been disconnected; with no way to collect his fee, he tries to follow the husband back to their home. He finds him in the same hotel with the governor, an altercation ensures and sees the husband choking the governor to death. In shock, he calls the police, but when they arrive, nothing is as it seems. As he sits on all this evidence, he begins to doubt his reality, gradually concocting a story that includes murder, a doppelganger, infidelity, and bribery over the use of commercial real estate parcels. Who can you believe when everything is a lie?
