description: Desperation leads Haley Templeton into the seedy world of a high-class call girl, but everything changes when the man directly responsible for her family's lost fortune shows up at her door and makes a wager that turns her life upside down. His presence alone is enough to scare her out of the profession to seek something more for her life, but in the process, she realizes that not only are things seldom the way they seem, but people are more than the rumors that follow them. Can she learn that she is more than her dark past?
