The Forgiven Movie Storyline:
Married couple David and Jo Henninger travel to Morocco in an effort to ease the strain that has been building between them. While traveling up a curve, David accidentally hits and kills a young teenager holding a fossil.
After bringing the body of the deceased teenager, identified as Driss, to their friend Richard Galloway’s house during a celebration, David agrees to report the death as accidental since he was driving intoxicated. The next day, David travels with Driss’s father and interpreter Anouar back to Driss’ home where he is buried.
Meanwhile, Jo stays behind and engages in debaucheries and activities hosted by Richard. She even has an affair with one of the guests. While traveling back with Anouar, David confesses that he hid Driss’ identification despite Jo’s protests and admits the accident was his fault.
That night, after reuniting with Jo, both she and David leave the party once most of the guests leave. Traveling past the site of Driss’s death, they are confronted by his friend who is armed with a revolver. Pressured by a distressed David, the friend shoots David dead much to Jo’s horror before walking off into the distance.
