Monica faces her fear of water after moving in next to Angela Evans, a passionate boater with a hidden history. Years earlier, Angela supported herself as a call girl during college. Now, as her husband Carter campaigns for the U.S. Senate, she finds herself being blackmailed by Marshall, her former pimp.
