Catherine Stewart (Julianne Moore), a successful gynecologist living in Toronto, becomes consumed by suspicion that her music professor husband, David (Liam Neeson), is being unfaithful. Desperate for answers and driven by growing anxiety, she hires a charming, high-class escort named Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to test David's fidelity.

Chloe meets with David and reports back to Catherine with increasingly explicit, vivid details of their encounters.

Catherine finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Chloe, entering a dangerous web of erotic fixation, jealousy, and psychological manipulation that threatens to destroy her family.
