Michael Scanlan is a businessman who is handsome and whose past is shrouded in secrecy. It is at that time Cole Laurence comes to town for a story about Scanlan. His original intention is not to learn about Scanlan, but to investigate a crime by drug dealers. Kay is attracted to Cole, though she fears about her heart being broken again. As Cole's investigations deepen, they find themselves in a dangerous position where both their lives are at stake. Will Kay let go of her fear and fall in love with Cole?
