Her husband had left her for another woman. A married woman. That woman's husband had called her on the phone and asked if he might come over.
Thinking back to that call, Lynn Schuster can't remember what made her invite Marc Cameron - the other woman's husband - into her home. But whatever his intentions are, Lynn finds herself drawn towards this enigmatic stranger . . .
Shrewd, capable divorce lawyer Renee Bower warns Lynn to be careful. Getting even with one's spouse can be a dangerous game. But Renee is facing problems of her own. Six years ago she married a handsome psychiatrist, the man of her dreams, but the dream is turning into a nightmare. Coping with her husband's irrational behaviour, her stepdaughter's hostility and her sister's attempted suicide, Renee feels her resistance wearing down.
As Lynn and Renee start to lose control of their lives, they learn more than they ever bargained for about betrayal, delusion and the consequences of being hurt by those you love . . .
