A hit-and-run accident on a wintry night is the starting point for this intriguing thriller about greed, class and social ambition. Dino is a small-time estate agent whose daughter Serena has a boyfriend Massimiliano, the son of wealthy hedge-fund manager Giovanni Bernaschi and his bored wife Carla. Dino uses this connection to social-climb and try and make some easy money. The entanglement of the two families over the six months prior to the accident is seen from three perspectives- those of Serena, Massimiliano and Carla. The all-important question is ‘who was driving the car on the night of the accident?’
