Plot
In the gritty underworld of crime, Terry Martin, an undercover cop masquerading as a fence, is meticulously weaving his web around Simon Bacig, the ruthless kingpin of a notorious gang. After six months in the shadows, Terry finds himself on the precipice of a breakthrough. As a final test of trust, Simon extends an invitation to a party, expecting Terry, a supposedly married man, to bring his wife along.
In response, Terry's superiors assign him an unlikely partner, Susan Reece. A fresh transfer from a data job in Kansas City, Susan is eager to leave desk duty behind and dive into the field. Despite Terry's intention for a swift in-and-out operation, Susan yearns for a long-term assignment and deliberately draws Simon's gaze. Suddenly, Terry and Susan find themselves embroiled in a dangerous game of make-believe, where their pretend home is the stage for their covert mission.
However, as the days unravel, the situation becomes increasingly perilous. A tip-off from the FBI alerts Terry to a potential mole within the police department. Simultaneously, he discovers an unexpected attraction to Susan while unearthing her previously concealed connection to Simon. As the stakes are raised, a chilling question emerges: Who is the real prey in this intricate game of cat and mouse? The line between illusion and reality blurs, creating a complex and perilous triangle of deception, attraction, and betrayal.
