Michael Bailey was a talented pickup artist, who had seduced hundreds of women and had about a dozen long-term lovers. Moments after his last one night stand, Michael collapsed. His autopsy revealed that he had been poisoned with an overdose of medicine. Beckett's investigation soon reveals that Michael's life had taken a strange turn in its last month. Michael had started using an alias, he had taken an extended leave from his job, he took efforts to avoid both his two best friends and his long-term lovers, and he never visited his own apartment. Beckett and her team eventually realize that Michael had been hired as a corporate spy. He was using his seduction talents on women involved in an ongoing corporate merger, in order to get access to their secrets. Now the investigators have to find out who Michael was working for, and who had the motive and the opportunity to poison him.
