Patricia Hayes is a widow in her mid-40s who would do anything to feel loved and appreciated again. She thought she had that with her boyfriend named Richard, a man almost a decade and a half younger than her, but when he suddenly pulls the rug out from under her and ejects her from the marital home she once held with Paul, her deceased husband.
Now Richard has everything, and Patricia is forced to move into a new apartment with her best friend, Isobel Kennedy. During a confrontation with Richard in their place of work, a local bookstore, Patricia is intrigued by a mysterious stranger who is more than he appears to be. Things eventually spin out of control when Isobel suggests something as harmless as a yoga session at the local studio.
Why does Patricia keep spotting Zhang wherever she goes? Who is responsible for the murder of Patricia and Isobel's neighbor and why? And why do all of these attractive men keeping popping up around them?
