As he reviews her spending and family background and watches domestic routines, uneasy suspicion deepens until he summons a private investigator to probe what lies hidden. The plot moves between intimate domestic scenes, social settings of privilege, and an investigative thread, exploring themes of secrecy, memory, and the gap between outward appearances and private histories.
