Storyline:

Camille Dargus, a successful jewelry designer in her 40s, meets Billy, a sexy young waiter who serves her at a large fancy dinner party. She invites him to go to bed with her in her New York apartment later that night. After having sex, Billy refuses to leave. Not even a large amount of cash for his services will persuade him to go. When he threatens to blackmail Camille with a video of their intimacy in the bedroom Camille calls the building's security guard, Ted, for help. She asks Ted to remove Billy from her apartment, but to her surprise she discovers that Ted is in league with Billy. In actual fact, Billy is just using Ted to get what he wants. Billy is connected in some way to Camille's past and is looking for revenge. The Situation escalates beyond Camille's worst fears and she finds herself trapped in a cruel charade which forces her to reveal the dark secrets of her past.

TED: (30s-40s) A uniformed security guard. Susceptible to Billy's charms and manipulation. Now married with two children, Ted previously spent some time in prison. He is desperate to find a valuable jewel in Camille's apartment so that he can pay off his gambling debts and not be killed by the mob.
