Lyric Stokes lives a charmed life. Married to Michael Stokes, a prominent heart surgeon, she has financial security and lives in the lap of luxury. All is not perfect, though. Lyric feels inadequate because she gave birth to a daughter, rather than the son that her husband wanted. After an unexpected turn of events, Lyric discovers that she's pregnant again, but now she has to decide whether she even wants to keep the child she has longed for. She seeks solace in her church, but Michael, who disagrees with organized religion and puts his job before all else, won't join her. With Lyric at a low point in her life, Nigel Fredericks, accused but never convicted of stalking women, sets out to take advantage of her vulnerability.
