Maryann Flood hade känt fler män än hon kunde minnas och några få som hon aldrig skulle glömma. Styvfadern som slängt ut henne på gatan. Miljonären som varit villig att betala vilket pris som helst för henne. Och åklagaren som dragit henne inför rätta för bestickning. Maryann hade kämpat sig upp från livet som gatflicka till att bli en framgångsrik affärskvinna. Problemet var att hennes affärsverksamhet i själva verket var en exklusiv eskortservice. Men Maryann hade ett ess i rockärmen; åklagaren var nämligen förälskad i henne.

Washington, D.C. Una giovane donna precipita da un balcone del Campidoglio. L'assistente procuratrice Anna Curtis è convocata sulla scena del crimine. Tutti gli indizi portano a un'unica conclusione: la vittima è stata violentata e poi uccisa. La ragazza era una delle escort più famose della città e l'abitazione in cui si è consumato il delitto risulta essere di proprietà di un potente politico, impegnato nella campagna per le imminenti primarie. L'uomo, interrogato, si dichiara subito innocente.

Anna Curtis è un sostituto procuratore alle prime armi a Washington DC, ma ha già una certa dimestichezza con la brutalità degli abusi domestici di cui si occupa ogni giorno. Il caso di Laprea Johnson, però, ha qualcosa che la scuote nel profondo. Laprea è stata martoriata dal fidanzato, D'marco Davis, la mattina dopo San Valentino. Ma davanti ai giudici la ragazza inaspettatamente ritratta per scagionare D'marco, che viene rilasciato: Anna teme di non aver insistito abbastanza nel convincere Laprea ad andare fino in fondo.

La sera in cui la vita sentimentale del magistrato Anna Curtis sta per cambiare per sempre, la sua carriera subisce una svolta così violenta da far barcollare ogni sua certezza. Mentre si sta godendo una cena romantica con l'uomo che ama, ancora turbata per la proposta di matrimonio appena ricevuta, a qualche chilometro da lì due diverse bande stanno per dare assalto a un bordello. Una delle due bande è guidata da un criminale noto come Diablo. Pochi minuti dopo, il team investigativo di Anna, in prima linea contro i reati a sfondo sessuale, è sul posto.
