Christine McAllister, la bella hija de un afamado productor y de una diva de la televisión, siempre se había sentido rechazada por sus padres, tan preocupados en mantener sus exitosas carreras. Esto empeoró cuando el padre de Christine decidió acoger en su mansión a Adam Stamos, un ladronzuelo barriobajero de Nueva York, para darle una oportunidad… por el contrario, a una Christine adolescente no le quedó más remedio que acatar la decisión de su padre y viajar a Suiza para continuar sus estudios en un internado. Diez años después, Christine se ha convertido en una hermosa mujer, y se ve obligada a regresar a Estados Unidos para hacerle frente a sus fantasmas: la mansión de Newark y decidir qué hacer con la herencia de su padre. Pero alguien está esperando para hacer cruzar a Christine esa compleja puerta de su vida adulta: Adam Stamos. ¿Estará Christine preparada para asimilar lo que la vida le pone delante, y enfrentar todo lo que oculta la mansión? ¿Será capaz de resistir las oscuras intenciones de Adam?
