Are things always like they seem? For Toni Melton, an acclaimed, nationally recognized, ambitious, outspoken journalist of the famous column, Toni Talk, and her illustrious husband, Ron Joyner, a criminal defense attorney who has ambitions of his own, the answer is quite shocking. Just when they are at the top of their professions, Toni, on the verge of winning a prestigious award, and Ron becoming a partner of his law firm, a detrimental article appears in Toni Talk, causing Ron to become faced with the reality of a lawsuit, disbarment, and unemployment, which is about to change their lives forever!
While they struggle to regain honesty and stability in their marriage, few people around them can offer support. Toni's co-worker, Mason Whittaker, has hurdles to cross of his own when he finds himself in an extramarital affair. Toni's closest friend, Angel Scott, is faced with a tragedy in her home, which upsets her peaceful world as she knows it. Ron's best friend, Travis Bland, is kept out of the mix of things until Ron and Toni analyze exactly who can be trusted. Toni's family is no help either; she has a mother who she feels hates her, and a father who's married to someone else. Ron's family is no better. His sister Melissa is falling for Ron's rival, Simon Kennedy; and Ron's father and mother are forced to deal with their oldest son who lost hope after losing his medical license. Toni and Ron's love is tested and tried to the ultimate level of deception, betrayal, and lust while they are forced to deal with it on their own!
