Helene heads out to a desolate farmhouse to visit her friend Anita, who she has acquainted after they both accused the same famous TV-host of sexual harassment. Anita has gone underground, having been subjected to an intense witch hunt on social media from people believing she has made up the accusations.

Helene fears her identity will be revealed in the process. The two women have up until now supported one another, but throughout the stay Helene grows more and more doubtful about what really happened to Anita back then – and to herself. How well do they really know each other – and their respective hidden motives? And what will happen to them now that the media circus threatens to kick off all over again?
