As vivid memories of a tragedy that cost her both parents, come flooding back, Jamie discovers a truth that she kept locked away - something only she knows about the night they both died.

And now it's time to meet Thayer
Thayer is the son of one of the original partners of a large NYC Corporation called TLC. Thayer Lance & Carter. When Lance and Carter were no longer part of the company, and his father gone as well, Thayer was taken under the wing of the remaining partner Jim Nathans. While not raised as his son, Thayer was older when his parents died, Jim looks at Thayer as his son and has tried to groom him to lead the corporation. Thayer is tall and trim but not muscular. He is a buttoned up and highly strung individual whose temper flares over the least little thing. He has been Jamie’s boyfriend for several years and he is very involved in her life but doesn’t agree with her choice to work at the theater. Thayer has few friends, and as he is about to receive a grand promotion, his life also begins to crumble at his feet.
