Plot

A young woman, Una (Mara), arrives unexpectedly at an older man's workplace looking for the truth behind the affair that occurred between them. The interactions were instigated by Ray (Mendelsohn) when she was a 13-year-old child and he was a next-door neighbor and trusted friend of her father.

The facts came to light on the eve of their planned elopement. Convinced by a misunderstanding that Ray had abandoned her, she wandered the streets distraught and bewildered, to be returned home by police, seemingly betrayed.

He served years in jail for his crime, treated as the lowest form of humanity by fellow-inmates. Then changing his name to "Pete", he rose to management level in a large warehouse. She grew up lonely and confused, living with her mother in the same house they lived in before the incident, and in her adulthood, now takes solace in going out for one-night stands and returning home before dawn.

She finds where he works through a newspaper photograph and confronts him just as he is about to attend a critical staff meeting, where he bears the responsibility to announce cutbacks and layoffs to some of the employees. Una insists they talk. What happened between them clearly hurt her, and she is still hurting, that’s why she is so desperate to talk to him. Thinking that she is a threat, instead of showing some empathy or understanding why she needs a conversation so much, he slips out of the room. He is so wrapped up in his fear that he doesn’t realise that she has zero intention to damage his career. Worried about himself and his image more than about a broken girl in front of him, he doesn’t give her a much-needed relief of a long-overdue conversation.

The encounter troubles him greatly. Unnerved, he is unable to function at the work meeting, leaves abruptly, and hides from angry executives and his fellow staff members. Una finds him. They quarrel: he insists that he had been genuinely in love with her, was not by nature a paedophile, and had not been "grooming" her. He tells Una he is now married to a woman his age. It’s obvious that he is still attracted to Una. She instigates a sexual encounter with him, but before it gets too far, Ray abruptly stops it and leaves her to return to his home. He and his wife have planned a large dinner party to be held that night. He gets home and has sex with his wife with his eyes closed.

Una leaves the warehouse with Scott (Ahmed), a young single man, and "Pete's" co-worker. She invites herself to Scott's place, where she seduces him. She then persuades Scott, by telling him she is "Pete's" daughter, to escort her to Ray's luxury country residence, where the party is under way. Ray is mingling with his guests as if nothing happened, but is shocked to see Scott and Una arrive. He is clearly troubled by fears of being unmasked. The wife and Una talk briefly; and she drops a hint that their marriage is not entirely happy. Una wanders upstairs, where she finds the bedroom of a teenage girl who is obviously loved and cared for; she curls up on the girl's bed when the girl enters and loudly demands an explanation. The daughter, Ray's wife's from an earlier marriage, is about 13 years old. Ray denies Una's unspoken accusation. He insists Una is the only one of that age he has ever desired, that she still is "the only one" as he kisses her face, all while his wife, step-daughter and Scott look on from a distance. Una then walks off into the dark, and it is clear that Ray's cosy life is about to implode.
