Porter Wren is a Manhattan tabloid author with an urge for food for scandal. On the beat he sells homicide, tragedy, and something that passes for the reality. At dwelling, he's a devoted husband and father. However when Caroline, a seductive stranger asks him to dig into the unsolved homicide of her filmmaker husband Simon, he's drawn into a really nasty case of sexual obsession and blackmail--one that threatens his job, his marriage, and his life.
