Ines expects betrayal from marriage, so discovering a lipstick-marked note declaring "All Yours" in husband Ernesto's briefcase comes as no shock. She tracks him through Buenos Aires on a cold, wet evening and watches him argue violently with his lover in a park. The woman falls. Ernesto drags her body to a lake and pushes it under the water. When police investigate the disappearance, Ines supplies Ernesto with an alibi. She understands that rage can bind two people as tightly as passion ever could. But Ernesto refuses to abandon his affairs. His continued infidelity pushes Ines past her breaking point. She designs a plan that will settle their marriage once and for all. Some revenge leaves no room for forgiveness.
