Successful advertising executive Eddie Schneider (Til Schweiger) is very close to achieving his life-long goal: He is named a partner of New York's leading agency, Birk, and is engaged to marry the daughter of the agency's owner (Stefanie von Pfetten). But then a member of his team is raped by his soon-to-be-brother-in-law, Anthony (Sebastien Roberts). Anthony knows about Eddie's affair with a neighbor, and threatens to reveal the information unless Eddie protects Anthony.

Shortly thereafter, Anthony is murdered. All the evidence points to Eddie: He has a motive, but no alibi. Still, he maintains his innocence...
