Synopsis/Details
Mary Wright, a charismatic music executive in New York, lives a double life. She's in a passionate relationship with Rose Brown, a beautiful dance instructor. But when Mary meets Luke Keller, a charming and hedonistic stranger, she's drawn to his proposal: a tripartite relationship.
Mary's past experiences have led her to develop a strong aversion toward men, but Luke's charm and persistence slowly win her over. Mary's mother, Monica Cross, disapproves of their lifestyle, leading to tension and conflict. Monica's dark past and influence on Mary's life are slowly revealed, showing how Mary's troubled childhood has shaped her relationships.
As Mary, Rose, and Luke navigate their complicated relationships, secrets and lies begin to unravel. Rose's growing unease with the arrangement boils over, and she starts to manipulate those around her. Luke, oblivious to Rose's true intentions, becomes increasingly entangled in the web of deceit.
Rose's jealousy and possessiveness escalate, causing Mary to feel trapped and suffocated. Meanwhile, Luke's true nature is revealed, showing a darker side to his charming facade.
In a shocking twist, Rose murders Cecilia Fox, the lead vocalist of the musical group "Oceanists," and frames Mary for the crime. Mary is sentenced to life in prison.
Five years later, Mary breaks out of jail with the help of a prison guard and her cellmate, Jessica. Determined to clear her name, Mary tracks down Rose and Luke, who are now married with two children.
As Mary gets closer to the truth, she's forced to confront the consequences of her own actions. Her complicated relationships with Rose and Luke are laid bare, and she must come to terms with the damage she's caused.
In a tense confrontation, Rose attempts to kill Mary after a deadly car chase. Luke falls unconscious due to injuries from the crash. Rose confesses to the murder of Cecilia and framing Mary.
As the standoff escalates, a police car arrives on the scene. An officer jumps out, gun drawn, and trains it on Rose. Rose, fueled by desperation and rage, refuses to back down. The officer attempts to de-escalate the situation, but Rose fires at him. The officer returns fire, fatally shooting Rose.
In the aftermath, Mary is exonerated of the murder charge but must face the consequences of her escape. Luke, devastated by the loss of his wife, must rebuild his life. Mary, though free, must come to terms with the damage caused by her own deadly entanglements.
