Janine Landry has the perfect life with a rich husband, two healthy teenagers, a beautiful home, and circle of wealthy friends. After twenty years of marriage, she should be content--but she isn't. Perhaps it's the sacrifice made six years ago when she abandoned her promising artistic career to raise her children while her obsessed attorney husband climbed the ranks at Simpson-Tierney. Or perhaps it's the anguish of her deteriorating marriage and a growing desire for someone to ignite the flame that once burned inside her. Janine is about to get her wish, an innocent encounter at Seattle's Art Museum that will drag her into a nightmare from which there is no return.
