She wakes up one morning with the niggling suspicion that she was date-raped by a well-renowned surgeon (played by Javier Rey). The mystery-thriller series looks back at this particular encounter.

It is a given that this Spanish series intends to tell us both sides of the story, which will leave us wondering as to who the real liar is – Laura or Javier?
