A man can't set you free-only you can. Backstage and in front of the world, a vicious record executive rules over his kingdom and the perfect little doll he's created. He pulls the strings and poses her under the lights, and in the cage of the public eye, she'll remain, until one day . . . she takes flight. Where she lands, only one man will know-the one who's being paid to watch her. He's a killer by trade, a lonesome soldier for hire. Clearly not a fan, he begrudgingly follows her. From the streets of New York to the coast of North Carolina, through the center of the country to a pot shop in Portland. The assignment is elementary and completely beneath him, until he finds himself teetering between love and obsession. The public devours her. Friends betray her. Men try to possess her. Every single one of them underestimates her.
