Sapphire Western is a beautiful young investment broker whose best friend Zinnia has recently married Jethro Clarke, one of the wealthiest and most lecherous men in Texas. Sapphire and Zinnia have a mutual friend, Aurelie de Bouys, whose life is no longer her own now that her scheming cousin Jeanine controls her desires and money and just about everything else in their socialite world. In an atmosphere where being rich is everything, and being decadent is commonplace, Jeanine and her hedonistic associates still manage to shock and surprise. Will Sapphire remain aloof, or will she be drawn into Jeanines games of depravity and deception?
