Susan. Monica. Teresa. Wendy. Thalia. Farrah. Shannon -- how Johnny Riles used to mark the days of the week. Johnny had fame, money and all the women he could want. But a car accident stripped him of the use of his left arm and marred his good looks. Alone and devoid of his livelihood (guitar-slinging rock star), Johnny can't stay in L.A. A return to small-town Alabama, and suddenly the days are all the same: Sarah. Bad news is, Sarah is married to a hometown football hero-turned cop -- who happens to be Johnny's little brother, Aaron. Johnny's reappearance and affair with Sarah rekindles a sibling rivalry that soon turns deadly. But when Aaron finds out Sarah is pregnant, the situation spins out of control, leaving Johnny and Sarah fighting for their lives.
