Ayola is an attractive young woman whom every man falls for. Each time she becomes involved with a man, she ends up stabbing him with a knife and then calling her sister, Corrie, a nurse, for help in disposing of the body and covering up the crime. Corrie suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, which manifests in her meticulous cleaning of her sister's crime scenes, removing bloodstains, fingerprints, and everything else.
Corridi is infatuated with her colleague, Dr. Ted, and constantly tries to attract his attention. However, she is shocked to discover one day at the hospital that her sister is setting a trap for Ted, who quickly falls in love with her. Corrie is then torn between concealing the truth about her sister, whom she has always protected and cared for, and the deadly jealousy that might drive her to report her. As the novel progresses, the conflict becomes increasingly complex and difficult to resolve until the very end.
