Two people sit in a dimly lit room playing a deadly game of fate. What led them to this game and who will win?

         We all have secrets that we don't want anyone to know; even ones we keep from the people we're closest to. When a dark secret is unlocked, Ebony Williams turns against her absurdly rich father, refusing to listen to his persistent reasoning and pathetic excuses. What he's done is wrong and unforgivable. Rather than just running away from home, over-confident Ebony plans to get her own back by scamming her father out of his entire fortune with the help of her not-so-perfect boyfriend and one of her father's biggest rivals.
