A hot cast led by Beyoncé Knowles (Cadillac Records, Dreamgirls), Idris Elba (TV's The Wire and The Office) and Ali Larter (TV's Heroes, Resident Evil: Extinction) star in this steamy, suspenseful story of a successful businessman whose world unravels when he becomes the target of an alluring, predatory female co-worker.
