Tangled lives, tainted love, and a Shakespearean twist lead to deception, betrayal and murder. In this sexy, psychological thriller, Eurasian beauty Mai Faca plots to marry Jake Warden, a successful oral surgeon forbidden to her because of family honor. In an unheard of scheme, fellow surgeon, Bret Manley, falls victim to Mai's seduction as she and Jake play a cruel trick to be together.
Jake acts with surgical precision to clear the path to Mai's happiness, threatening lives, even his own. In a wake of turmoil and destruction, Bret's uncle and well known criminal attorney, Hubie Santos, dissects the reason a surgeon would use his knowledge to kill.
