Vivian's company faces financial ruin, leading her into a business deal that goes awry. She finds herself drugged and held captive by Nicholas Rose, who is also known as Nicholas Thorne. Vivian is uncertain whether she is encountering his benevolent or malevolent side, or if she was even his intended target. She questions if a car accident from years past is the reason for his vendetta against her, or if her attractiveness has made her a target.
