Simone is an undercover cop who has infiltrated a feminist group. She suspects the activists of being accomplices in the murder of a violent husband. As she gets to know them, Simone opens up to feminist ideas to the point of questioning her conservative values. But her cover is fragile and soon the group suspects her. To deflect attention and get out of this mess, Simone panics and randomly accuses Paul, a man she’d just met at the park, of raping her. Paul, a failed actor who lives in his wife's shadow, is the sweetest and most harmless of men. Simone, devastated by what she has done, tries to make amends, but it's too late: the accusation becomes public and Paul a target of the collective.
