A stunning example of a chance meeting at a book signing, evolving into a set of events leading to murder - after murder - after murder! Kevin, a newly successful author, crosses path with a manipulative and seductive young woman, Summer, and her unsavory associates. A simple indiscretion quickly becomes a web of kidnapping, blackmail, and cold-blooded killings; the characters range from being naive to conniving, leading an audience wondering who the real victim is in this sordid one-night-stand. The family dynamics of the author plays an integral part in the story line, as does the bizarre relationship Summer has with her own family. While the sexual tension is palpable, Kevin experiences a rising fear, far exceeding his ability to cope, and his ensuing panic to end his nightmare leaves a trail of bodies in its wake. Although Kevin's male ego is flattered in the beginning, his innate self-preservation overcomes all sense of reality, and, in the end, he has but one recourse... or so his thinks! The twist of fate at the bookstore signing soon becomes a twisted plot of deadly consequences
