One afternoon Joe and Les happen upon the corpse of a young woman floating in the water. Accident? Suicide? Murder? As the police investigate the case and a suspect is arrested, Joe embarks on a secret, lustful affair with his employer’s wife, all the while hiding the fact that he knows more about the dead woman than he admits.
