Glen Bauer gives a reckless driver a little jerk of his steering wheel to get him to pay attention, but the driver ends up dead. Knowing no one else saw what happened, Glen lies to everyone about his involvement--the cops, his wife, and his daughter, Sara, who was in the back seat of his car at the time. He seems free, but then a detective tries to question Sara, and his whole life spirals out of control with prospects of a lawsuit and jail looming before him.
