Leslie takes a job as a cook on the Saber Estate for Jordan Saber, a successful, white University professor. Even though there is powerful attraction, Leslie fights the relationship. In the midst of the danger facing Leslie, Jordan becomes overzealous in protecting her, forcing her to leave the estate and putting her in easy reach of the stalker.
