Dr. Victoria Benning knows it's unethical to discuss the therapy sessions of her clients, but the drama of their unpredictable lives tests her professional role like never before. First, she counsels Mrs. Melody, a brutally honest, gorgeous rap artist who relies on sexual leverage with men to elevate her music career. Then there's Charles Clay, a hot young film director and master manipulator with a fetish for opportunistic women. Tyrell Hodge is a frustrated screenwriter, part-time driver, and full-time complainer who desperately needs a break. Dark & Moody is a music producer who prays for a blood sacrifice in order to succeed. Joseph Drake, a venture capitalist from a powerful, slave-ownership family, now suffers from a spell of White guilt. And Destiny Flowers is a hopeless dreamer who struggles to keep her mouth and mind at peace-while harassing the tolerant doctor she hopes will ultimately help her. Working around the clock, Dr. Benning observes a troubling, treacherous common denominator that plagues all six clients- a desperate impulse to grasp control of everything and everyone in their lives-no matter the cost. It's a struggle with which she's all too familiar. Determined to head-off tragedy, she comes up with a brilliant game plan to make their collective talents work in everyone's favor. . . But just as she moves into action, inexplicable events quickly turn fatal, as the doctor finds her plan, her career, and her personal life all spiraling into madness-and hopelessly out of control. Six talented but dangerously toxic personalities in the entertainment hotbed of Atlanta push their psychologist to her own vulnerable limits - and maybe beyond - in this enthralling, knife-edged thriller from NAACP Image Award-winning author Omar Tyree.
