Synopsis
Naomi grew up as an only child that got anything she wanted. And having the perfect life was still less than perfect to her. Being pretty, witty and smart, she thinks she has it all figured out. When given the option of being smart or playing the odds, she would always choose to use her smarts to beat the odds. Unbeknownst to anyone close to her, she has woven a web of deceit so intricate, that even with all her resources, she finds that this life she created is exhausting. Even the best laid plans come with unforeseen consequences that not even she would have calculated. And the outcome could prove to be fatal.
