Cassie Warner, a bored housewife is encouraged by her best friend Beth Smith to spice up her life by starting a romance with Jackson Keller, a descent prison inmate. Still stung by her husband's past infidelity, Cassie allows the letter-writing romance to flourish thinking Jackson still has 12 years to go on a vehicular homicide sentence.

After a court appeal sets Jackson up for early release, fellow inmate Denny Gates hatches a brutal and cunning plan to escape and take his place, then consummate the romance with Cassie.

When Denny arrives unannounced during a garden pool party, Cassie is horrified but Beth further pushes her to cheat on her husband.
