Two couples, the Cowleys (Paul and Linda) and the Jeffries (Brandon/"Jeff" and Stella), have been friends for about a year. They spend so much time together they decide to vacation together in Florida. Jeff and Linda are secretly having an affair. They spend so much time together that their spouses become suspicious. Events spiral out of control. Linda decides to speed up Brandon's vow about "till death us do part" by shooting Stella dead with his consent. But Paul, who also gets shot, isn't going down so easily. The one innocent person is then framed for murder but luckily finds an ally in a local police officer who is determined to expose the truth.[1]
