In a fictitious trial, twelve members of a jury must decide whether journalist Ian Bailey is guilty of the 1996 murder of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan Du Plantier. Based on real events, the film reconstructs, through the discussions between these twelve people, a case that ultimately invites the viewer to draw their own conclusions.

Theo and Frances, an artsy downtown couple, are driving to a dinner party at their old friend Zoe's new house in a wealthy suburb of NYC. Lost and frustrated, they call Zoe's husband for directions. When the answering machine picks up, they're unknowingly recorded, making a series of unforgivable comments, criticizing their old friends and their various life choices. After an unexpectedly pleasant reunion over dinner, it quickly becomes a painful nightmare for all. A darkly comic take on the dual realities of friendship.
