Her silver fox next-door neighbor, mentalist Rex Redondo, admits that he's the one who saw the body and called the police. But his involvement in this is far from over.

Yet the closer they get to the truth, the more questions arise. Why did Rex pocket Viv's house key? What are Viv's employees hiding from her? And most importantly, how long will it take for the police to realize Viv and Rex are in real danger?
