What a way to celebrate the long Veteran's Day week-end.
Staying at the
gorgeous villa on the island of Anguilla, borrowed from
his friend,
Andrew Martin, a high powered Washington attorney, is
perfect for the
sex tryst Senator Wesley Jasper has planned. Mind blowing
sex, a
fabulous dinner with superb wine, and his companion,
beautiful blonde
ex-runway model, Vanessa Boyd.
Laying on the quiet, deserted beach, Wes
is staring up at the star- laden sky and feels life just
could not get
any better. Vanessa is lighting a joint. When Wes
refuses to share it,
she calls him a Creep. Their conversation turns rocky when
Vanessa
begins pushing Wes to set a date for divorcing his wife to
marry her.
Wes becomes evasive.
Things turn ugly fast, and Vanessa laughs. She
tells Wes she has some insurance to make sure he keeps his
word.
Vanessa tells Wes she planted a recording device,
recording a a top
secret meeting he had in Japan. After listening to it,
Vanessa is
convinced it would ruin his career and involve serious
jail time for
him. Again Wes plays for time so Vanessa, takes off all
her clothes and
goes for a swim. Knowing he has no plans to ever seek a
divorce or
leave the children he adores, his re-election is top of
his future
priorities, Wes runs into the water after Vanessa.
Andrew Martin is going for the gold ring. He has built
his entire
career with his goal to become the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court.
He is nearly there. Rumors are rampant that he is on the
President's short list for the nomination. At a dinner
party at his
home he receives a frantic telephone call from Wes telling
him Vanessa
drowned at his beach house and he needs help. Refusing
to take
Martin's advice to call the police because of his career,
he insists
Andrew help him. Slightly drunk Andrew, too, is concerned
about
possible repercussions to his nomination, he makes a call
to Anguilla to
get the body removed and enable Wes to remain undetected.
High stakes
but he has to take them and hope for the best.
Allison Boyd, twin sister of Vanessa is an archaeologist
working on an

and meets
Martin's star associate, Paul Maltoni who assists in
finding out who was
with Vanessa when she died. Their trail together is
bumpy, full of
twists and turns and lots of danger. Allison is stubborn
and refuses to
give up her chase. She will find out who killed her
