A tense erotic thriller built on seduction, betrayal, and murder, where a psychiatrist's personal entanglements become dangerously entangled with a patient's death.

Psychiatrist Ann Hecker is ending one relationship and possibly starting an important new one, while finding that some of the sexual exploits her patients relate are weighing on her. Turning to a married friend from her research days for guidance, she finds his help increasingly important when a female patient is murdered and it turns out that her new boyfriend was also seeing the dead woman.
