On a late flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson meets
the stunning and mysterious Lily Kintner. Over one too many
martinis, the two strangers play a game, one in which they
begin revealing more and more intimate details about
themselves. Ted talks about his wife, Miranda—how his
marriage has gone stale, how a week ago he caught her in a
serious betrayal. . . . Maybe they were a mismatch from the
start, he the rich businessman, she the beautiful artist.
But what begins as playful banter between Ted and Lily takes
a swift turn when Ted claims, half-seriously, that he would
like to kill his wife for what she's done. Then Lily
surprises him by saying that she'd like to help. After all,
everyone dies, what difference does it make if a few bad
apples get pushed along a little sooner than life intended?
Back in Boston, Ted and Lily forge an unusual bond and talk
about the ways Ted might get out of his marriage. But Lily
has her own dark history she's not sharing with Ted, a
legacy of murder that stems from childhood. And Ted is
keeping something from Lily as well—so as they move their
plan forward, his motivation becomes less about getting
Miranda out of his life and more about getting Lily into it.
But as Ted begins to fall in love with Lily, he grows
anxious about any unseen holes in their scheme that could
give them away. And suddenly the two are pulled into a very
lethal game of cat and mouse, one in which there may be more
than one loser and more than one of them left dead when it's
all over.
