Charlotte Greene is a beautiful and successful nurse practitioner, married to her first love and best friend, Derek Greene. Their lives are picture-perfect before an unfortunate series of tragedies befall them. Derek finds solace in a liquor bottle while pushing the grieving Charlotte away. Charlotte feels all alone, but she isn't alone. After returning to work, she catches the eye of a loner lab technician, Silas. For Silas, it is love at first sight, but it will take some time to convince Charlotte. He watches, studies, and waits for the perfect moment, preparing her new home, and, like a thief in the night, he makes her his. Silas places himself in Derek's path, and on one fateful night, Derek makes a deal with the devil himself. Not realizing what he's done until the next day, Derek has no choice but to set out alone to search for his missing wife, and is set up to take the fall. It's a race against time for Derek, who could spend the rest of his life behind bars, and for Charlotte, who may pay with her life.
