Questioned by the police, Karen denise all allegations - but in truth, she is unable to remember the events of the evening. Roger Crombie (Brick), her best friend and lawyer, fears that she is not telling the entire story and seeks the advice of the respected and handsome Dr Peter Drexel (Wagner) to help uncover the truth.
Drexel's evaluation stirs Karen's memory as she slowly recalls her encounter with Palmer. Together, they explore Karen's past in a session that ignites into a passionate evening between doctor and patient.
With evidence mounting against her. Drexel suggests that Karen's only option to avoid conviction is a plea of insanity.
