When the affair is exposed, simmering family tensions finally explode and Cramers actions come to dramatically affect the lives of everyone around him. From author Andrea Newman (A Bouquet of Barbed Wire), this gripping drama examines the damaging consequences of a dangerous affair and features Trevor Eve in one of his most anti-heroic roles.
