Misconduct

D'Arthur Denning, a powerful pharmaceutical owner, exerts significant control over his girlfriend Emily Hynes. Emily finds herself in a frightening situation as Denning's security team physically intimidates her, showcasing the depths of his possessiveness.

Emily is abducted and Denning receives chilling photos of her bruised face. This event triggers a harrowing chain of events that tests Denning's power and commitment to saving her.

Denning is instructed to attend an art gallery as part of the ransom drop for Emily. In a moment of panic, he mistakenly attacks the gallery owner, mistaking him for a threat, compounding the tense situation.

Before her abduction, Emily discreetly reaches out to her ex-boyfriend Ben Cahill during a drink. She subtly hints at Denning’s abusive nature and reveals that she possesses incriminating data against him, setting the stage for Cahill’s involvement.

Back at her apartment, Emily uncovers files from Denning's laptop exposing his dishonest practices in drug trials. This discovery ultimately leads her to concoct a plan to manipulate circumstances to her advantage.

Cahill, armed with the incriminating information, pitches a class action lawsuit against Denning to his superior, Charles Abrams. This legal route may offer a glimmer of hope for Emily and other potential victims.

Cahill faces a devastating moment when he discovers Emily’s lifeless body in her apartment with a bottle of pills. The scene raises suspicions of foul play, but Cahill chooses to conceal the truth from the authorities.

In a shocking deposition, Denning unexpectedly agrees to a $400 million settlement for the lawsuit, under the condition that the stolen documents be returned. This surprising turn raises further doubts about his true motives.

Cahill is thrown into disbelief when Emily's body mysteriously shows up in his home. This eerie development adds to his growing paranoia about being framed for something he didn't do.

Cahill confronts Denning about Emily’s body, but Denning feigns ignorance, appearing pleased by Cahill's desperation. This encounter deepens the psychological tension between them.

Tensions heighten when a hitman abducts both Cahill and his wife, Charlotte. In a struggle for survival, Cahill manages to kill the assailant and uncover documents revealing a deeper conspiracy.

Cahill discovers that his boss Abrams has been colluding with Denning to sabotage legal cases against him. This revelation unveils the insidious network meant to protect Denning from facing justice.

In a bid for justice, Cahill reports the hitman's files to the police, leading to the arrest of Abrams. Although justice seems within reach, Abrams takes his own life before facing any repercussions for his actions.

As Cahill prepares to move, he notices Charlotte's clothing carries the scent of Emily's perfume. This triggers a confrontation where Charlotte reveals her deadly encounter with Emily, leaving Cahill grappling with a devastating truth.

After learning Charlotte staged the scene instead of helping Emily, Cahill must process the tumultuous reality of their intertwined fates. The burden of truth changes his understanding of loyalty and love forever.
