Her husband becomes embroiled in a murder case, and his affair is accidentally exposed, shattering the peace of her former life.
She goes to a bar to drink herself senseless and doesn't turn down the advances of a younger man. But he won't leave her alone, and things nearly go wrong.
A man's hand grips her shoulder, forcefully drawing her into a strong embrace.
"Madam, it's time to go home. This isn't the place to let yourself go."
She turns and meets a familiar face. The man is the leader of the task force investigating her husband, and the first kind soul to hint that her husband was cheating.
Instead of thanking him, she complains: "Were you following me?"
"I'm protecting you."
He smiles instead of getting angry, looking as though he's drunk but not quite. He safely leads her away from the chaos.
She never imagined that not long afterward, this same man would pull her into another unfathomably deep whirlpool of desire.
