Amanda Simmonds is an ambitious and beautiful young university with the world at her feet. However, she is also ruthless in her obsession for wealth and power. When she joins company with two unscrupulous Americans involved in the production of fake branded garments in Thailand, her financial goals become a reality, and her Swiss bank account grows more quickly than she ever anticipated. Discovery of a photo and a note relating to a cold case in Melbourne, and the gunning down of two British subjects in Bangkok have a stunning effect on Amanda's life.
