At a high school reunion, Tess and Hugh quickly felt the sexual tension between them which may have birthed a relatively common, you've-heard-it-once, or twice, forbidden romance. But Tess plays a pivotal role in the incumbent regime of Androva anchored on the popular authoritarian Chairman Laude. The immense power in her hands appeared to be too much for her supposedly happily married lover who had risen in the art scene painting portraits of sex goddesses and ravishing rulers. Hugh's unsuspecting young wife Rachel, who thought she found a soulmate despite their age gap, would find herself in the middle of a maelstrom unsure of how she could save her marriage. To what extent will this torrid affair attract the imminent threat of sociopolitical truth hidden from public view? Will the last vestiges of righteousness be enough to untangle the cobwebs of power abuse and heart-shattering effects of obsession?
