Struggling to find love again, Ricky turns to online dating and meets the beautiful and mysterious Danita (played by Stephanie Szostak).

Despite his initial reluctance, Ricky is quickly drawn to Danita and before long they are involved in a passionate relationship. However, things take a dark turn when Danita reveals that she is married and wants Ricky to help her kill her husband so they can be together.

Faced with such a shocking proposal, Ricky is torn between his love for Danita and his morality. Eventually, he decides to go along with her plan but things don't go as smoothly as they'd hoped, and they are forced to face the consequences of their actions.
