After being fired, Susy Connor (Gia Carides) files a complaint alleging that her boss, Gary Fitzgerald (Anthony LaPaglia), groped her after hours at the office. When they're brought in to mediate, conciliator Marion Lee (Catherine Wilkin) discovers that both sides' stories are inconsistent. Susy's sister, Katie (Zoe Carides), testifies on her behalf that their father (Ray Barrett) molested them both. Meanwhile, Gary's friend, Vince (Neil Melville), suspects Gary's denials are untrue.
