A gripping and suspenseful moral drama that looks at the darkness inside all of us to ask: what would you do?
Dr Eitan Green is speeding through the moonlit desert in his SUV after an exhausting hospital shift when he hits someone. Seeing that the man, an African migrant, is beyond help, he impulsively flees the scene.
It is a decision that changes everything.
When the dead man's wife appears on his doorstep, her price for silence is not money but something else entirely. Meanwhile, Eitan's wife is the police detective tasked with investigating the hit-and-run, following a trail that leads dangerously close to home . . .
