A young couple find themselves caught up in a web of deceit and lies when they pretend to be someone else in order to escape their mundane lives.
Karin and Kai, a married couple, are in search of a peaceful getaway from their busy schedules and reluctantly accept an invitation to stay in a luxurious holiday home in the Norwegian fjords. However, their trip turns into a haunting reminder of their shortcomings and an uncomfortable encounter with their new neighbors. In a moment of desperation, Karin tells a small white lie, which quickly spirals out of control, trapping her and her husband in a nightmarish web of deception with no way out.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the glistening water and the claustrophobic confines of the ultra-modern house, Karin's insecurities flourish, and her lie grows ever more significant, entangling them in a web of lies that threatens to destroy their relationship and their very selves.
