安德雷亚与西蒙是一对警探好友，他们的生活却截然不同：安德雷亚幸福地享受着家庭幸福，刚刚离婚的西蒙则夜夜买醉，流连忘返于脱衣舞俱乐部。他们的人生因为一起家庭暴力案件突然改变，安德雷亚逐渐失控并变得无法辨别是非，西蒙必须挺身而出，在正义与邪恶之间做出艰难抉择。How far would decent human beings be willing to go, when tragedy blurs the line between just and unjust? With "A Second Chance", Susanne Bier and Anders Thomas Jensen have crafted another startling yet moving drama about how easily we lose our grasp on justice, when confronted with the unthinkable, and life as we know it is hanging by a thread.
