Ambitious, head strong and tenacious are the qualities that Isabelle Richards and Roman De'Martell have in common.
Their moral compass, lifestyles, perspectives and about everything else is what sets them apart. What happens when a young lawyer is forced into a world that is not as black and white as the one she grew up believing in? Isabelle watches her moral compass fail her, her sense of right and wrong blur into one and her ability to distinguish her rational from her emotions disappear.
Roman De'Martell is a 26 year old entrepreneur who earns his wealth from selling Black Market contraband. When Isabelle and his paths cross he forces her to see the grey areas of the system that she grew up believing in. A world dominated by crime and corruption that she can't help but feel intrigued by.
