Canadian RAF colonel Russell Williams's career reaches a pinnacle when he's appointed commander of his base shortly before a royal visit is announced. Yet he refuses to move into it, remaining in his quiet nearby home town. People rarely even close their doors there, even with the recent wave of intrusions, mostly to steal female underwear. As it escalates to violence and a kidnapping, Toronto sends crack detective Nick Gallagher, who teams up with the ambitious local case officer Jennifer Dobson. Although the base's cooperation proves crucial and several victims and witnesses are military, the colonel ultimately becomes the prime suspect, yet too well-respected to be formally charged without an elaborate ploy devised by Gallagher. 这部电影是根据真实故事改编的。罗素•威廉姆斯上校是加拿大最大的空军基地的指挥官，年轻有为，声名显赫，妻子在国家慈善机构任主管，他们的完美组合令人艳羡。生活在特威德小镇的他们，生活看似平和幸福，但是随着一系列离奇性侵案和谋杀案在特威德小镇发生，这里的宁静被彻底打破了，警察局特别成立了专案小组对案件展开了详尽的调查工作。而当所有的疑点慢慢被警探一一连接，凶手却指向了一个难以置信的人——基地指挥官罗素•威廉姆斯上校。
