Plot

In the heart of New York City, Kate Miller, a middle-aged housewife trapped in a cage of sexual dissatisfaction, finds herself lost in a risqué fantasy during a mundane morning shower, while her husband shaves indifferently at the sink nearby. As the day unfolds, she seeks solace in her psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Elliott, baring her frustrations about her husband's lackluster performance between the sheets. A chance encounter at a museum leads her into the arms of a stranger, igniting an adulterous affair that spills from a taxi cab to his apartment. However, the passion cools when she discovers documents revealing her new lover's venereal disease. In a panic, Kate flees but is forced to return to retrieve her forgotten wedding ring. As the elevator doors slide open, an enigmatic, tall blonde woman in dark sunglasses brutally ends Kate's life. Liz Blake, a high-end escort, unwittingly becomes the sole witness to this shocking murder, instantly pushing her into the crosshairs as both the prime suspect and the next potential victim. Narrowly escaping the same grisly fate as Kate, she finds an unexpected ally in Peter, Kate's son, who is eager to unmask his mother's murderer. Together, they face the unyielding Detective Marino, tasked with the case yet seemingly resistant to their involvement. This gripping tale of deceit, danger, and determination unfurls as they relentlessly pursue justice for Kate.
