Brett Novak is a young upstart chef, if only she could catch a break. After getting dumped by her married girlfriend, Brett accepts a temporary position as a live-in, personal chef of an author, Carson Smart, who resides in a mansion in Cape Cod. Carson immediately seduces her, but things get complicated when Carson's wife, Vera, arrives home from her trip and the love/hate relationship between the two spouses erupts, leaving Brett caught in the middle. Brett, starved for attention, craves Carson's affection and yet is oddly drawn to Vera's seductive and destructive charms. As Brett becomes an unwitting pawn and weapon, she questions how far husband and wife will go to wound the other. Can she survive her employers’ dark appetites?
