SYNOPSIS: An interview of novelist Sandra Voyter is halted by her husband Samuel Maleski playing loud music from their house's attic to disrupt it. Their partially blind son Daniel goes out for a walk and returns to find Samuel dead in the driveway from a fall. An autopsy reveals his head wound was inflicted before his body hit the ground, putting Sandra under suspicion. Her lawyer Vincent Renzi plans to claim Samuel committed suicide if she is indicted, and despite not believing he killed himself, she tells him about Samuel's attempt to overdose on aspirin months before his death. He notes a bruise on her arm that she claims to have sustained bumping into a table.

Daniel claims his parents were not fighting when he left the house, but when a test of the music's volume reveals that he could not have heard them talking from where he claims he was, he changes his story. This, combined with blood spatter on a shed below the attic window and a recording Samuel made of a fight he and Sandra had the day before he died, prompts an indictment. While practicing testimony with Vincent, Sandra explains that Samuel was technically responsible for the accident that blinded Daniel, putting him in a depressive state he never fully recovered from.

One year later, the trial has begun. Sandra's defense team claims Samuel fell from the attic window and hit his head on the shed, while the prosecution believes she hit him with a blunt object and pushed him from the second floor balcony. During an argument with Samuel's psychiatrist and the prosecutor, she admits she felt resentment towards Samuel after Daniel's accident. The recording is played, where Samuel accusses her of plagirism, infidelity, and exerting control over his life. The argument turns violent, and while Sandra is forced to admit that the bruise was sustained then, she claims the rest of the violence was Samuel inflicting it on himself.

She admits that she had several affairs after Daniel's accident and another the prior year (implying that he disrupted the interview for fear of her trying to seduce the interviewer), but insists that she consensually borrowed an idea from Samuel that she turned into her own book. The prosecutor notes her pattern of writing her personal conflicts into her stories and how murdering Samuel could mirror a minor character's thoughts from her most recent novel. He claims that Samuel would not have committed suicide the day after fighting so vehemently for his independence, while Vincent cites Samuel's stresses and failed writing career as motivation for suicide. Disturbed by what has transpired, Daniel agrees to testify before closing arguments, but asks that Sandra leave the house temporarily.

Remembering that his guide dog Snoop became sick shortly after Samuel's suicide attempt, Daniel feeds him aspirin and finds it has the same effect, suspecting that he ate Samuel's vomit and therefore validating Sandra's claim that the incident happened. While he is still uncertain about what happened, the woman assigned to watch over him to prevent interference in his testimony tells him to believe what he can live with. He recalls during his testimony that, while taking Snoop to the hospital, Samuel implied his own suicidal thoughts while talking about the dog's potential death. Daniel states his belief that Samuel committed suicide and Sandra is soon acquitted. She comes home, puts Daniel to bed, and looks at a picture of her and Samuel before falling asleep with Snoop.
