The Damage

Description

David Blake is a worried man. Despite enjoying the high life he has created for himself by murdering his girlfriend's mobster father, things are not going well between them. When he meets the beautiful, troubled and undoubtedly intriguing Simone in one of his own Firms 'massage' parlours, he becomes determined to save her from the seedy life she has chosen. He knows she can do so much better than she thinks. It's an obsession that could end up killing them both.
