"I want to help you," the man next to her says. She shivers as the hand rests on her thigh again. But this time, she doesn't push him away. He lowers his voice to a whisper, so quiet that not even the microphones can pick it up. "People do strange things for love."

Before the murders, Alya Ledford had it pretty good: an acting career, a famous movie director husband, and an amazing best friend. But when her best friend goes missing and her husband is supposedly diagnosed with cancer, Alya finds that the only person she really trusts is a limo driver and fellow actor, Edward. With her husband away seeking treatment, Alya gets distracted by the "boy next door," an attractive young man who seems to be everything she ever dreamed of. With her life in turmoil, Alya doesn't know how things can get any worse.

And then the first person dies.
