Synopsis

On the eve of a carnivalesque festival on a small Caribbean island, Police Captain Victor Benezet is interviewing a prominent tax attorney, a former colleague who has discovered one of the victims in the biggest murder case of the aging Captain's career. Though the attorney is expected nearby at a lavish fund-raising party, he agrees to the meeting--what begins as cooperative conversation between peers, soon descends into a night of intense interrogation between fierce adversaries, as the attorney slowly becomes the prime suspect. While the attorney's beautiful wife Chantal waits nervously amidst the growing energy of the festive party, the Captain, along with an eager Detective, embark on a heart-stopping journey through the attorney's family secrets, trying to determine his guilt or innocence. But even after the Captain and the Detective are sure they've found the answer, they find that the truth is other than it seems, leading to even more painful revelations.
