Kate Graham believed she had the perfect marriage. But after not touching her for months, her husband Duke Fairbanks, who had an affair with her friend Diana Coles, demands a divorce. She waives the prenuptial-fixed sum of nearly a million dollars, so he lets her have the house temporarily while he lives on the yacht; his corpse is found there shortly after. An unknown man who claims he killed Duke for her demands 10% of his vast inheritance. When her gay friend is arrested without bail, she asks her lawyer to defend him. The killer orders her to have dinner, shakes down the Seattle PD detective Paul Tannon, proves he knows her preferences, explains how he set Jim up, and doubles his tariff to 20% now that she has two lives to pay off.
