Plot:
April, 2010. Angelenos Bruce Beresford-Redman, a television producer of such shows as Survivor (2000), his wife, restaurateur Monica Beresford-Redman, and their two adolescent children, Katie and Miles Beresford-Redman, are vacationing at a Cancun resort. The vacation is partly to celebrate Monica's birthday, but more a step to repair Bruce and Monica's marriage, she trying to get over his infidelity with coworker Hilary Sanders. Since Monica found out about the infidelity two months prior, she had been close to filing for divorce in her belief that Bruce still has feelings for Hilary, and on Monica's sister Elena Sardo's assertion that he is bound to cheat again. But she decided to give him a second chance on the inherent belief that he is both a good father and a good man. One day while on vacation, Monica is purported to go into town to go shopping, but never returns. Bruce reports her missing both to the resort and local police. Soon thereafter, her dead body is found on the resort property, she obviously murdered as she was strangled and was found in a sewer pipe. Beyond Bruce and Monica's marital problems which are well known to their friends and family back in Los Angeles, the local police gather enough evidence to want to charge Bruce with the murder. Beyond truly believing him to be the murderer, the police have ulterior motives in wanting a quick charge issued. Bruce has his own scant theory of who killed Monica. Information pertaining to the case is presented, which leaves the viewer choosing for him or herself whether justice truly was served in what actually happened in real life.
