ALEX SOLOMON, an event planner to the entertainment elite, is living the high life in Atlanta, Georgia. Her lifestyle and her business are backed by notorious Colombian drug lord XAVIER RIVERA. Alex finds her life becoming more complicated when she gets sexually involved with a local mechanic, TIRRELL ELLIS.
Drawn to the trappings of her world, Tirrell ultimately discovers how Alex makes the bulk of her money and he wants in on it. Tirrell becomes a liability when he starts using the product that he’s supposed to be selling. Alex breaks it off and threatens his family should he ever expose her secret.
Tirrell’s half-brother KEVIN, an assistant DA, is working with the feds to get to Rivera. A violent altercation forces Tirrell to come clean with what he knows forcing Alex to turn against Rivera. She and her mother (and baby by Tirrell that he knows nothing about) are taken into witness protection and relocated to California. While in custody Alex falls for her married FBI handler JOHN CHASE, and he falls for her. Unbeknownst to either of them John’s partner HARLEY DONOVAN is in Xavier’s pocket in more ways than one. When Harley divulges Alex’s whereabouts the pursuit becomes more deadly and the body count keeps adding up.
