Synopsis

Trapped in her marriage to Rex, a violent and controlling man, Ava has one bright spot in her life: her online tutoring sessions with Ali. He is thousands of miles away but wants very much to return to the United Kingdom. As Ava and Ali grow more intimate, Ava begins pouring her heart out about her miserable situation. Soon Ali is back in the country, and the pair become lovers. But when Ali makes a startling offer, Ava has a difficult decision to make. However, what she doesn’t know is that Ali has his own agenda, and as multiple passions, secrets, and relationships become entangled, will she find herself in another, even more terrible, trap?
