The discovery of a corpse in their woods strains their marriage to a breaking point. As Morgan retreats to her old life in Chicago, and Arthur schemes to salvage the farm and win her back, the couple is drawn into a deeper conspiracy. Ultimately, they face an ethical dilemma that might change the course of their lives.
