Film temelji na resnični življenjski zgodbi Roberta Dursta, dediča nepremičninskega imperija. Ta je bil vpleten v še zdaj nerazrešen primer skrivnostnega izginotja svoje žene Kathie leta 1982. Čeprav so imena glavnih akterjev v filmu spremenjena, je režiser in scenarist Andrew Jarecki natančno povzel burno življenje moža, ki mu je rodbina plačala 65 mio dolarjev, da se je odpovedal pravici do nasledstva milijardnega imperija. Izginotje žene je bil samo začetek njegovih težav z zakonom, saj je tudi po umiku iz newyorške elite najverjetneje zagrešil še dva umora v Teksasu. Navkljub prepričljivim dokazom je v ječi preživel samo dobro leto in se prosto giblje po svetu. To je zgodba o ljubezni in skrivnostnem umoru znotraj newyorške dinastije lastnika nepremičnin sredi osemdesetih let 20. stoletja. Izvirni scenarij uporablja na novo odkrita dejstva, sodne zapise in špekulacije kot osnovo za domiselno zgodbo o družini, obsedenosti, ljubezni in izgubi.
