Abbie experiences pleasure and release beyond anything she has ever known. Then she wakes up on a yacht with police surrounding her. Something terrible has happened during the night, something she cannot remember or understand. Abbie, Winnie, Serena, and Bryah find themselves under arrest, accused of an unthinkable crime.
