Plot

Young student Grace Atwood finds herself in a mess when her best friend, Molly Ryan, is murdered, and she becomes the prime suspect of the crime. Grace's sister, Natalie, is beside her at all costs, but does not know whether to believe what Grace says. While the London police investigate the murder, members of the high-end sex club Courtenay continue to practice their explicit and secret nights of sex with prostitutes. There are many suspected of having murdered Molly, but, in all that time, was Grace guilty of the murder, or she was just a young lady caught in the journalistic spotlight and the hard investigation regime?[5]

After a crazy night full of drugs and alcohol organized by Grace Atwood and Molly Ryan in their apartment. The next day, Grace and her boyfriend Luc and Roz have the lifeless body of Molly on the floor with multiple stabs and blood splashed everywhere. After investigating the murder scene, traces of Molly's blood were found on Grace's feet, making her a prime suspect in the case. So D.S. Bruno, the lead detective in Molly's case and associate D.I. Pike bring Grace in for questioning. Gwendolyn Hall, the crown prosecutor on the case, watches over the cops as they question Grace on the whereabouts of Molly's cell phone. She says that Molly lost him in Diablo, the nightclub they had visited the night of Molly's murder. Grace tells them that Molly thought she was being watched. Afterwards, Bruno is confronted by Gwendolyn who thinks he was too soft with Grace and that he should have questioned her further about the traces of blood on her feet. Bruno explains that there is insufficient evidence to warrant an arrest, so Gwendolyn reluctantly agrees that Grace should be released. Natalie, Grace's older sister, who is an assistant prosecutor, decides to fly to London after being called by Grace and told about Molly's death. The cops discovers that Molly was pregnant and quickly concludes that this could have been a motive for the murder. But with the father unknown, the cops must work on getting a DNA sample.

Suspicions are roused even further when a video of Molly giving Luc to lap-dance surfaces. Grace and Natalie's stepfather, James Lahue, hires the best but controversial defense attorney, Stan Gutterie to defend her. Natalie does not agree and suspects that James and Molly had a relationship. Back to the crime scene, Bruno and Pike discover that a stuffed monkey belonging to Molly had been taken from the crime scene and they begin to question whether Grace was in fact telling the truth about Molly's stalker. But it's not long before Grace is back in the limelight when a video of her slashing the tires of Linley's wife's car resurfaces.
