Paul T. Goldman's world is turned upside down when he learns that his wife is leading a secret double life. His attempts to uncover the truth push him into a labyrinth of deceit and crime, which, in his own words, he enters as a wimp but emerges as a warrior. Director Jason Woliner tries to prevent the documentary series he thought he was making from derailing, while Goldman shines in reconstructions, changes the script, and thus challenges Woliner's vision.
