Young student Grace Atwood finds herself in a mess when her best friend, Molly Ryan, is murdered, and she becomes the prime suspect of the crime. Grace's sister, Natalie, is beside her at all costs, but does not know whether to believe what Grace says. While the London police investigate the murder, members of the high-end
sex club
Courtenay continue to practice their explicit and secret nights of sex with prostitutes. There are many suspected of having murdered Molly, but, in all that time, was Grace guilty of the murder, or she was just a young lady caught in the journalistic spotlight and the hard investigation regime?
