Mariah, a former cop, becomes the hated target of the mob boss she sent to prison. After being abducted from her office and transported across state lines, she escapes through dark woods, a treacherous journey through whitewater rapids, and a desperate trek across rugged land. To stay out of the clutches of her abductors, she calls her good friend and former police partner, Morgan. Together, and with the help of the FBI, they not only battle the mob who wants them both dead, but discover political corruption and mob ties. The case solved and arrests made, Mariah believes it is safe to return home to her faithful Jack Russell Terrier, Paisley, and her private psychology practice. She was mistaken. Her life explodes into violence again; someone is desperate to kill her and this time it takes a host of family, friends, and acquaintances to solve the case and save her life.
