Wealthy tax attorney Henry Hearst (Hackman) is about to give a speech at an exclusive New Year's Eve party in Puerto Rico. He is called to the police station to be questioned about the body he found the day before - that of a young girl who had been raped and murdered. Captain Victor Benezet (Freeman) and Detective Felix Owens (Jane) question him about inconsistencies in his story. Hearst quickly realizes that they think he committed the murder, as well as that of another young girl whose body was found days earlier. Benezet is under pressure from his boss (Miguel Ãngel SuÃ¡rez) to free Hearst so that he can give his speech. As there is no conclusive proof, Benezet has to let him go.
At the party, a crowd is gossiping and Chantal (Bellucci), Henry's much younger wife, has to keep her face emotionless. She is questioned later to confirm why she and her husband sleep in separate rooms. Little by little, the story that each of them tells changes.
Hearst first blames Chantal for being jealous. Then, it is discovered he likes cheap, very young prostitutes and visits pornography websites featuring women dressed as schoolgirls. Hearst says that Chantal and her brother-in-law, artist Paco Rodriguez (Luis Caballero), are lovers. Chantal says that she saw Hearst with her 13-year-old niece Camille (Isabel Algaze) giving her presents and trying to seduce her. Also, she tells that once she saw her husband washing his blood-stained clothes at night. Hearst denies molesting Camille, but admits that he prefers much younger women and does not draw the line at teenagers.
Chantal, the legal owner of the mansion where they live, signs a permit to let the police look for more clear proof. In the dark room, they find photographs of the two murdered girls. Henry says that Chantal must be trying to frame him. He does not divorce her because she would be entitled to one half of everything and the mansion.
Ultimately, he breaks under the pressure and makes a false confession to the crimes; just as the detectives are notified that the real killer has been arrested after being "caught in the act." Benezet and Owens then free Hearst, but he never forgives Chantal for trying to frame him.
