Dr. John Schneeberger, a well-respected Canadian doctor, is accused of raping a patient who cannot remember the assault due to a sedative. Despite multiple DNA tests showing no match, the patient continues to believe she was assaulted and hires a private investigator. The investigator finds a chapstick with matching DNA, but legal issues prevent its use in court.
