To the world, the man's life is spotless, yet he lives with a secret that could ruin it at a stroke. Long ago he was named as the man who raped a girl, and he suffered for it. Now he is made to meet the girl herself, and the encounter shows how precariously his life has been held together: by a bargain with lies that has only just kept disaster away.
