Opis

In this psychological thriller, four competitive, traditional guys, friends since childhood, are living conventional lives in Manhattan. The reader is given a glimpse of the life of the rich and famous in Manhattan, which becomes the backdrop for this saucy, psychological thriller. Four guys have been friends since childhood. As ten-year-olds, they had taken an oath of secrecy vowing that no matter what they would never squeal on one another. Though very different personalities, they were tight with one another. At 30-something, they find themselves living in Manhattan at the same time and plan a reunion of their secret club. While playing racquetball they befriend Raul, a handsome and very prosperous Argentinian who is in the import-export business of antiquities and ancient relics. Raul invites his new buddies and their wives to a party at his luxurious, 5th Avenue penthouse apartment where they meet Raul's exotic, sensuous, and beguiling Brazilian wife, SASHA. All four buddies are immediately smitten with Sasha and become hypnotized by her beauty and vixen-like appeal. Sasha begins to play them all independently right from the beginning. They all fall under her spell as she works them for her own ends. She convinces each of them that she is in love with them and that her life is in danger. She wants to leave Raul but is afraid. Each of the buddies believes that he is special and will do whatever he can to protect her with the expectation that she will go off with him once she divorces Raul. They are willing to sacrifice everything for the sultry Sasha, each feeling that he is the chosen one. When Raul falls from the balcony of their opulent high-rise apartment at a party he hosted, the buddies become murder suspects. They have to confront the nature of their friendship. What does it mean for men to be buddies? It wasn't until they had to deal with being accused of murder that they discover the true meaning and value of friendship.
