You Don't Know Me plot

The thriller's plot remains largely under wraps, but from the brief synopsis and trailer, we know that Londoner Hero (Adewunmi) is accused of murdering a young boy, with the evidence (blood under his fingernails, firearms residue on his skin) all pointing overwhelmingly towards his guilt.

However, he is convinced of his innocence, and attempts to argue that the murder is linked to a young woman who he first met on a bus two years ago and became romantically involved with, but who later went missing.
