Allison Morgan, a senior executive at Westridge Group, never imagined that putting an employee's promotion on hold could destroy her life. One afternoon, while leaving a children's art center with her five-year-old daughter, Sophie, she's confronted by Jessica, the wife of her subordinate, Ryan Cole. Convinced Allison is sleeping with her husband, Jessica publicly assaults her, while her friend shoves Sophie so hard that the little girl hits her head and loses consciousness. Allison insists that Ryan works for her, but nobody believes her. When Ryan arrives, he fails to recognize his injured boss and even joins in, kicking her as she lies on the ground. Then he calls Allison's phone—and the phone beside the unconscious woman starts ringing. Horrified, Ryan realizes they've just attacked the executive who controls his promotion! But when Allison refuses to forgive them, Ryan and Jessica turn the tables, spreading lies that cost Allison her reputation and her job. Determined to get justice for herself and her daughter, Allison investigates and uncovers Ryan's secret affair and a massive corporate fraud scheme involving her rival, Katherine. With help from her assistant Daniel, Ryan's unsuspecting girlfriend Mia, and eventually Jessica herself, Allison gathers the evidence needed to bring them down. Ryan and Katherine are sent to prison, Allison's name is cleared, and she finally reclaims the career they tried to steal.
