Synopsis:
When David (LIAM NEESON) misses his flight home from New
York and, as a result, the surprise party his wife Catherine
(JULIANNE MOORE) has planned for him, Catherine is forced to
swallow her disappointment and any suspicions and return to
the waiting guests. Reading a text message sent to David's
phone the following morning from one of his female students,
Catherine's fear grows. The successful couple, Catherine, a
doctor, and David a professor of music, have a 17-year-old
son, Michael (MAX THIERIOT), and to an outsider, they have
everything. But their careers and raising a child have put
strains on the marriage; their relationship is suffering
greatly from loss of communication and intimacy.
Two weeks after the surprise party, Catherine and David are at
dinner with friends when Catherine excuses herself to use the
restroom. There she meets an alluring young woman who, in
those brief moments, connects with Catherine—it is Chloe
(AMANDA SEYFRIED). Returning to the table where they're now
playing spot the hooker, Catherine watches with interest as
Chloe approaches an older businessman. On the drive home
Catherine finally asks David if he intentionally missed his
flight from New York to stay for drinks. When he claims he did
not, she knows she has caught him in a lie.
Now more suspicious than ever that David is having an affair,
Catherine seeks out Chloe, an escort, hiring her to test
David's fidelity. Meeting regularly, Catherine absorbs the
explicit details Chloe shares of her encounters with David,
igniting Catherine's jealousy and awakening long- dormant
sensations. Soon caught in a web of sexual desire, Catherine
finds herself on a journey that places her family in great
danger—is it too late to stop Chloe?
