La police arrive devant une maison blanche et découvre le corps ensanglanté d'une femme splendide. A ses côtés, plein de sang lui aussi, un homme que les policiers reconnaissent instantanément. Il est une légende. Un des athlètes les plus connus au monde. Oscar Pistorius, vient de tuer sa compagne, le mannequin Reeva Steenkamp. Il déclare aux policiers : " je l'ai prise pour un cambrioleur. " Cinq jours plus tard, un procureur général dévoile un passé jusque là soigneusement occulté où Pistorius aurait déjà agressé des femmes et déclare qu'il a tué sa petite amie volontairement.
