Everybody loves a man with a dark past, but just how dark... In Manhattan, New York, Liz Cheslaw is the only female on the marketing team in a successful company. Suddenly, her boss gets transferred and Matthew Legato arrives on the scene to take his place. The misogynistic Mr. Legato carries a repulsive secret from his past and believes that a woman shouldn't have an important job like Liz does, so he tries to get rid of her. Since Liz has been working there for over a year, she has created quite a name for herself, so Matthew gets closer to her and has to go to extreme lengths to get rid of her... Even if it means seducing her. But what happens when he tries?
