Returning from a 12-year self-imposed exile in Europe, Shawn Wittig's past begins to catch up with him when he begins an illicit and, possibly, deadly romance with his University Professor.

Brilliant and mysterious, JT Dalton, professor of chemistry, runs the mentoring/readjustment program at the local university. Shawn Wittig, twenty-nine, spoiled and troubled heir to an indulgent, single, playboy father, is court ordered to attend the program. Their relationship is immediately volatile, but Professor Dalton's persistent tiger-mom discipline sparks a deeper connection between the two. Before long, the professor finds herself involved in an illicit and highly sexualized affair with her student, consuming both their lives. The University, catching wind of this scandal, promptly suspends JT, and Shawn's father forces the young man to give up his obsession with his older professor, but is this enough to end this compulsion.—Nancy Isaak and Catherine Dao
