A dark, morally murky thriller about two damaged people drawn into a dangerous affair and the possibility of murder, built on intense physical attraction and mutual desperation.

After spending time in prison following an assault charge, Connor Bates now works in a library and spends his free time running, swimming, and trying to piece his world back together. When he meets Marilyn Chambers, the wife of a wealthy businessman, they collide into an intense physical and emotional relationship that quickly escalates into idle talk about her husband’s murder.
