Six months after a painful break-up from Gordon, Beth's finally getting her life back on track. She has faith in her scientific theories and is willing to work hard to prove them. And Hibs, her dedicated lab partner, has always held a candle for Beth. So when Gordon arrives back from America without warning, she's totally thrown. Will she realise there's more to life than being bullied by the one who's meant to love her?

Will Beth foresee the explosive nature beneath Gordon's placid surface before he destroys everything she's worked for, both inside and outside the lab?
