A businessman (Donald Sutherland) begins to suspect his young new partner (William McNamara) has a deadly ulterior motive for getting close to him and his family.

A businessman (Donald Sutherland) has a hotshot young new partner (William McNamara).

Harvard-graduate Jeremy Harper, the hotshot executive assistant (right hand) of well-reputed independent stock broker Ted Robards, is courted by a bigger firm; he only accepts to stay if given lodging at his boss' home for him and his girlfriend Gina, who likes him to be a rough SM-top, but not quite as harsh as the memories of his abusive adoptive father who he killed by arson as a child, inspire him. Sandy Robards wasn't consulted, and instinctively distrusts him; she ignores, unlike him, to be his biological mother. Now Jeremy sets in motion an elaborate plan to revenge himself terribly on his abusive father, on Sandy and even both her loved ones: her husband -starting a rumor fatal to his business- and his son from his first marriage, studying swimmer Chris, which he seduces in two ways...—KGF Vissers
