  <default_description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;I&gt;I only hope that nobody else saw what I did .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wealthy Bostonian Jack &quot;Scooter&quot; McCalister has it all-money, charm, and the devotion of two different women: Sherry, his high-society wife, and Erica, his island-born mistress. But while driving recklessly to catch a ferry one rainy morning, Jack strikes a young girl and leaves the scene of the accident, not even bothering to see if she is alive or dead. With this one fateful decision, Jack's perfect world shatters.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Like a coastline lashed by a wintry sea, guilt and confusion wreak havoc on Jack's carefully managed existence. He struggles to keep the pieces of his life together until a dangerous witness to the accident begins blackmailing him, threatening to expose the truth. Pushed to the brink by his unknown tormentor, a double life, a faltering magazine business, and his ever-present remorse, Jack is caught in a web of lies. Now, Jack must break free before he loses his career, his sanity-and his life.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>
