premonition that her latest job has disaster written all
over it. Entering into a house while the owner is gone and
guarded with minimal staff to steal an ancient tablet
should be easy. Instead, Samantha discovers the owner in
residence and, as she tries to escape, a bomb explodes and
a guard is killed. Injured herself, Samantha hides out
while trying to figure out who set her up. When colleagues
are murdered, Samantha makes an unusual bargain, as she
tries to escape a murder indictment.

lover, realizes the woman in his home was trying to rob

left the art gallery in his home in shambles and begs the
question -- why try to destroy his priceless collection?
Richard does not like unanswered questions. Refusing to let
the police handle it, he takes an active role.
Richard's confidence in his security takes a blow when his
mysterious burglar drops from his skylight with an unusual
request. They form a partnership. Richard needs her
expertise regarding art thieves, and Samantha wants his
assurance that he'll use his power to extricate her from a
murder charge. Their alliance evolves into a more complex
relationship, which is tested as trust becomes the issue.
