An eight-year-old boy is hit by a car, and a deep rift develops between the two neighbouring couples involved, which will prove hard to repair.

On a dark winter evening driving home with his family, Jan hits his neighbours' eight-year-old son. A couple of weeks after the accident Svein, the boy's father, starts growing suspicious of Jan's explanation. Meanwhile, Jan himself is plagued with guilt, and as Svein closes in on the truth, both men are trapped in a downward spiral of desperation that threatens to lead to their undoing.—Vidvinkel Film
