The plot is simple, but the drama is made more complex by the complexities of the characters. The story tells a story of a woman who is married to a man who becomes complacent about the relationship.

Along comes a powerful social media executive who is a romantic and promises to add meaning to her life.
The powerful socialite seduces her, but continually becomes increasingly more demanding of her attention. Eventually he demands that she either end life with their husband to be with him or walk away from the possibilities that life with him offers. She is torn between the two lovers. One of them offers the emotional fulfillment and excitement that has been missing from her life, but seems almost too good to be true. The other one offers her stability, but the spark is gone.
