And then he discovers that she has been having a secret, passionate affair with a completely different kind of man, a construction worker. He is beautiful...the perfect body...who makes no demands on her, except sex. But when she wants to end it, he won't let her. Haunted by guilt, she begins to spin more and more out of control. And like a moth lured to the flame, the fire consumes her.
