PlotSam Ellis is a successful and ambitious federal prosecutor with a seemingly perfect life, including a stable marriage and a promising political career. However, his desire for power and excitement leads him into a dangerous world of illicit activities. His curiosity is piqued after a colleague introduces him to high-end escorts, and Sam, unable to resist temptation, finds himself increasingly drawn to their services. What begins as a single act of infidelity spirals into an addiction, and he starts engaging with an exclusive escort agency, further distancing himself from his wife and son. His secret life increasingly jeopardizes not just his personal relationships but also his professional aspirations as he prepares for a significant political role.
As Sam's double life grows more complex and consuming, he employs extreme measures to hide his behavior from those around him. Covering his tracks becomes paramount, leading him into morally dubious and legally precarious actions. The consequences of his choices begin to loom large, threatening to destroy everything he has worked for. In the face of mounting risks, Sam battles between his compulsions and the potential fallout, creating a tense atmosphere of inevitable discovery and redemption.
