Alexis Bryant has not been dealt a fair hand in life. She grew up with loving parents in a small suburb and marries the man of her dreams, but all too soon he becomes the man of her nightmares. She quickly immerses herself in work, with the only thing bringing her home at night being her two boys. Until one night, things get out of hand and her sons are exposed to far more than they ever should have been.

It should have been easy, but there's something standing in his way. Lexi's police officer boyfriend, Wesley Cooper. Will Wes be enough to keep her and her boys safe? Or will someone else have to do that job for him?
