Janine is a professional dancer - admired, adored, envied. Her life in Monte Carlo should be glamourous and exciting, but she is desperately unhappy. She suspects her lover, the fascinating Nikko, of cheating on her with rich society women. Nevertheless, her infatuation with him makes her an easy pawn in his ambitious and selfish game - a game that involves deceit, blackmail, and murder; and which drives Janine into two marriages and almost destroys her relationship with the passionate and devoted Peter Willington.
