Scott Doherty is baffled and distraught after his father mysteriously drowns. His confusion turns to fury, however, when his mother, Maureen, returns from a cruise just a few weeks later with her new lover, Oliver Vance. Suspecting foul play, Scott confides in Oliver's beautiful daughter, Kelly; and as the two begin their own investigation, they succumb to their own passions. But Kelly has dark secrets of her own, and while she seems to be the love of Scott's life, she could also be the end of it. Starring Jacqueline Bisset, Adam Garcia, Alice Evans, and James Naughton the film is bolstered by serene tropical locales that contrast sharply with the darkness of characters' hearts.
