Cuando dos intrusos entran a robar en casa del juez Roberts, no pueden sospechar que se encontraran con un mayordomo muy especial.

Pero su pequeña hazaña no pasa inadvertida: la television se hace eco del suceso, y un hombre poderoso y peligrosamente obsesivo decide que esa mujer ha de ser suya, aunque para conseguirlo tenga que recurrir al asesinato. Los crimenes se suceden y Sarah ve tambalearse su tranquila y ordenada vida: no solo esta en peligro mortal, sino que, ademas, se convierte ella misma en sospechosa. Y, para colmo, no puede evitar sentirse tremendamente atraida por el policia que lleva el caso. / Loyal. Beautiful. Professional. Impeccably organized. Potentially lethal.
