Two women are blackmailed into doing something that neither one wants. One is blackmailed into helping her estranged lover get the goods on a newlywed husband, so that he can get into the newlywed wife's pants. The newlywed wife is blackmailed into having sex with the estranged husband. The way out of for these two women is just as bad as the what was done to them.

I sat staring wide eyed with shock at the TV screen, though I was staring at the screen I wasn't really taking in what it was showing any more. Lord knows how long I sat in that numbed state, but it was only the 'clunk' and auto-rewinding of the tape in the VCR that brought me semi-back to my senses... the woman being fucked and showing every sign of enjoying what was being done to her was none other than my wife of 25 years, Ruth!
An unexpected phone call. A voice from the past. Memories are stirred and John’s current relationship is suddenly threatened by his last.
