A visual perception of Cactus Ridge reflects the innocence of a typical desert town. On the surface it appears to happily exist solely to service the surrounding farmers, and as a destination for ’after church’ social gatherings. Visitors passing through Cactus Ridge would never guess this small town possessed a secret that had diversely affected the lives of a dozen people, each with a different agenda, and each finding themselves sexually and emotionally involved with decisions that boarded on the unreal. When Alicia, a stunning FBI agent decided to sleep with Tony Marco, a Mafia ’hit’ man, who is addicted to and cries while watching Soap Operas, Richard, her partner, knew she would not allow any obstacle to prevent her from successfully completing their mission.
