A dark, paranoia-soaked thriller built on seduction and deception, where romantic attraction masks dangerous manipulation and betrayal.

Rich, successful Bryce meets beautiful Lissa at a bar one night and invites her back to his house, not suspecting for a moment that Lissa isn't really who she seems. What unfolds next is a dangerous, tangled web of double-crosses and seduction.
