American journalist, David/Luke Kleintank starts a new job in Riga, Latvia, for his old friend Grant/Bruce Davison at European Press Network. The job comes with a big, old, furnished house and Grant's other BMW car. When his car won't start, he rings on his new neighbor's doorbell and meets Robert/Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Robert helps him with the car and they take the car for a spin and become friends. Next evening they go to a nightclub where David meets Janine from London and gets her phone number. Driving home, David accidentally hits a dark bike rider on a backroad. It turns out to be Janine. Robert, a nurse, tries to help her but she's dead. He convinces guilt-ridden DUI David to drive away without reporting it. Robert later drives the car into a lake. At work David covers the hit and run attending the police press conference where Janine's sister asks him to help find witnesses and the culprit.
