Maya seems to have the perfect life. She is a successful real estate agent. She has a handsome fiance, Steven. She even has a fun and supportive best friend, Toni. Little do her friends realize, however, that Maya is living a lie. Secretly, she’s miserable-and it’s all Toni’s fault. Toni stole the love of Maya’s life and had the gall to marry him. Although ecstatic to have Ty as her husband, Toni knows their relationship will never be truly free of Maya. Her own feelings of guilt prevent her fully letting Maya go, forcing the two women to play a perverse game of keeping up appearances while they secretly hate each other. The game becomes very real when an accident leaves Toni’s husband injured and vulnerable-and Maya begins seeing the cracks in Toni and Ty’s relationship. At the same time, her own engagement to Steven is falling apart. Is this Maya’s last chance to get what she truly wants? In this twisting drama, two very different women finally let appearances fall by the wayside, exposing the jealousy, anger, resentment, and guilt that have been simmering just below the surface. Can Toni survive Maya’s toxic rage?
