Alice left everything behind, but the one thing she can’t escape is her guilt. Her decision to live out the rest of her life in servitude is shaken when a person from her past appears, the man she never wanted to see again. Taken by a handsome criminal, determined to seduce her, her world is turned upside down.
Will Alice submit to his advances? Will she finally find the strength to confront the sins that have haunted her for so long? Or will the weight of her conscience prove to be her undoing?
