To make matters worse, Linda is drawn into a sizzling romance, but when she soon discovers the full extent of her lover's macabre plans and an unbelievable hidden history – everything spirals out of control.

Will it be easy to clean house this time? Will the rich continue to get away with murder while the poor suffer?
More importantly, when one dabbles in a life of crime, does it really pay?
