Dr Yvonne Carmichael seems to have it all – a respected career, a beautiful home and family. However, nothing is ever as it appears, and when she receives an unexpected proposition from an enigmatic stranger, Yvonne is shocked by the passion he awakens in her. But gradually, Yvonne begins to realise that there is much more to her lover than meets the eye, and she could be playing a very dangerous game indeed.

In the aftermath of the attack, a devastated Yvonne shuts down. She feels unable to talk to the police or her husband, but as a campaign of terror is mounted against her, she is pushed to her limits, and turns to her former lover for advice.

Yvonne’s life is turned upside down yet again, when she is ripped away from her family, and arrested for the murder of George Selway. In shock, Yvonne denies everything; but the police are convinced that the pair colluded to kill Selway in cold blood. Their trial begins and very quickly Yvonne realises that everything she thought she knew about Mark Costley was based on a lie. And right now he’s all that’s standing between her and a prison sentence.

The murder trial continues, with Costley’s defence resting on evidence of an underlying personality disorder. But the prosecution barrister rips this theory apart and Costley’s case seems to lie in tatters. Costley’s back is up against the wall; has he reached his tipping point? If the court find out Yvonne lied about their affair, will they believe anything else she’s said?
