Rika Fane has spent years watching Michael Crist from afar—the older, intimidating brother of her ex-boyfriend. Now in college and away from her sheltered upbringing, she finds herself in Michael’s city, unprotected. Michael and his three friends (the "Four Horsemen") believe Rika was responsible for sending three of them to prison years ago. Now that they are free, they have orchestrated a plan to seek revenge and make her life a nightmare.

At its heart, Corrupt tells the story of Erika "Rika" Fane and the four powerful, enigmatic men of Thunder Bay known as the "Four Horsemen": Michael Crist, Kai Mori, Damon Torrance, and Will Grayson III. The narrative is driven by a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance between Rika and Michael, her ex-boyfriend's older brother. Michael is described as handsome, strong, and terrifying—a former college basketball star gone pro who is more concerned with dirt on his shoe than with Rika. However, Rika is haunted by secrets she has witnessed about Michael's past, and for years, she couldn't look away.
