She (Miller) is Carla Duvall, a global movie star. She fell for tech mogul Morgan Henderson (West) while he was barely earning a fraction of her income. But now he’s gained on her. Is that why he felt the need to screw around with starlet Flora Munroe (Rose Williams), not knowing that Carla had hired Flora to entrap her randy ass?
