Contentedly married to mother-of-two Rosalind, Stephen, a professor at Oxford University, finds himself caught in a rut. Fearing emotional numbness, while locking horns with his student William, whose vigour he envies, and with his friend Charley, whose successful sex life he covets, Stephen secretly yearns for an affair with beautiful but cryptic Anna. Now, inescapable fatal attraction, ungovernable passions, a sinful love triangle, and profound moral bankruptcy threaten to trap everyone in the dark side of desire, culminating in a horrible car accident that will haunt them for life.
