Dominique is a simultaneous interpreter, always speaking others' words, professionally bound to confidentiality. While working at an international pharmaceutical conference in New York City, she overhears that a researcher is under pressure to postpone the development of a revolutionary HIV treatment, and she is thrown into a devastating predicament. She cannot disclose the information, but by withholding it she feels she is betraying a close friend who is dying of AIDS. At the same time, she falls in love with Nicholas, a charming, handsome Italian doctor on the horns of his own moral dilemma. When she learns that he is the very same researcher, her story takes a dramatic turn, and Dominique finally finds her own voice.
