As Louise is surprised by Evan’s genuity, the two begin to question each other’s motives and yet become fond of one another.

As the truth of Evan’s life comes up in conversation, he soon expects to know more about Louise’s past. What he soon discovers proves dangerous, as her dark secrets come to light.
