A quiet construction engineer in Denver, Colorado, Charlie Dell doesnтАЩt need any complications in his life. But his wife, Irma, insists they take in her younger sister, Lois, as a matter of duty. Charlie bristles at the thought of having a seventeen-year-old girl around┬а.┬а.┬а. until he gets one look at Lois.

SheтАЩs a far cry from the buck-toothed kid Dell remembers, and more than willing to indulge in a little sin with her sisterтАЩs husband. Insane with passion, Dell starts cutting corners at work in order to find time alone with her. But actions have consequencesтАФdeadly, serious onesтАФand the further Dell goes to cover his tracks, the darker and more dangerous his path gets.
