It's an explosive story of a broken trusted love placed in a man who truly didn't deserve it and couldn't appreciate the just values of a strong woman's worth.
Bessie's history with her husband, Jack, soon becomes a part of her past that she finds to be hard to place behind her. She goes against her own rules as a woman and becomes disloyal to her heart when it comes to standing by her man Jack.
In the midst of Jack's distrust and cheating ways, Bessie soon finds herself at a crossroad where she's forced to make a life-changing decision that ends in heartbreak and divorce but pays off in revenge, in bittersweet ways that only a woman of hurt and brokenness could relate to.
In the workplace and throughout the walls of the courthouse, she's as well-grounded as could be expected. However, in her own personal life outside the workplace, she's stuck between her unfaithful, cheating husband and her heart. In the end, Bessie finds herself leading by example.
Jack, on the other hand, finds himself caught up in ways that he never could have imagined: living a double life, charged with the murder of a woman that he barely knew, and in desperate need of the woman help who he set out to break only to realize in the end sometimes the cover-up is worse than telling the lie, and that the grass was actually greener at home the whole time with the woman that he grown out of love with.
If one tells the truth, it becomes a part of one's past. If you lie, it becomes a part of your future. For Jack, he had to learn this lesson the hard way through a physical beating that very well could have cost him everything, including his life. The question is, how much revenge is satisfying to a woman who has been scarred by her man? How much revenge is satisfying to a woman such as Bessie?
