A Sister's Revenge

In Philadelphia, former ladies'-man Michael Miller has settled down and married the love of his life, the former Catherine Kearney, and they have an infant son, Evan. Michael is rarely home as he tries to make a go of his new restaurant, Michael's Bar and Grill. The restaurant becomes "the in place to go" in the city and is always packed, but one small issue after another with the place is bleeding Michael dry financially. The latest such issue is his sole hostess, Amber, not showing up for a shift; several hours and several necessary comps to customers for the inconvenience later, he discovers that she broke her leg in an accident and will be out of commission for a couple of months. Michael soon finds what seems to be a perfect replacement: Suzanne Dell, who is new to the city, beautiful, personable, and only looking for a temporary job while she works on growing her personal-training clientele. Suzanne is obvious in her being there for Michael if he were ever looking for something to happen, but he's able to resist temptation. It isn't until after Suzanne drugs Michael and is able to produce a video of the two of them having a sexual encounter that Michael realizes that she orchestrated her way into his life. She blackmails him with the video for money in return for not telling Catherine. The money, however, does not stop Suzanne's emotional torture of Michael, the video always in the front of his mind in terms of how he decides to handle whatever she throws at him. Michael must find out who she is and what her endgame is if he has any chance of neutralizing what she's doing to him, his crumbling family life, and his deteriorating business.—Huggo
