Moving swiftly through the Moroccan desert to attend a lavish party for their wealthy old friend, the wealthy David (Ralph Fiennes) and Joe Neninger (Jessica Chastain) from London are involved in a horrific incident involving a local child. The party is already in full swing when the couple arrive at the posh villa, where they attempt to cover up the incident by colluding with the local police.
At one point, however, the father of the injured boy appears to seek justice and the atmosphere is filled with tension from the clash of cultures, and David and Joe have no choice but to accept the unpleasant consequences of the fateful incident and their actions.
