Dara is unaware these two past lovers of hers are now engaged to be married. While rekindling a romantic fling, she meets a woman named Raven Sapphire Steele. Raven draws Dara into a world of corruption, debauchery and exploitation. A world from which Raven's lover, a wealthy real estate mogul, derives his tremendous wealth from.
