Two senior executives, one male, the other female, in the same company, face mid-life crisis. To the naked eye, the man has a storybook marriage, while the female, has two failed marriages, and a suicidal gay daughter.
After several romantic dinners, numerous late night phone calls, and gifts willingly accepted by both parties, two very different realities unfold. The man believes he is well on the way to a consensual affair. The woman sees the relationship as an opportunity for a discreet hush-money payment.
Soon, the two are engaged in a complex, very public game of survival of the fittest. One twisted event leads to another as the collateral damage mounts.
In the end, nobody wins. This story was inspired by real events.
