When the lives of those you love are at stake, what will you choose: your own death or theirs?

Alex is a survivor of an execution. Having fled the demons of her past in Chicago, she takes refuge in Seattle, desperately trying to bury her past and build a normal life.

Alex makes friends, falls in love, and proves her worth at a law firm where she lands a prestigious internship. But the past never stays buried forever.

When Alex finds herself caught up in a deadly car chase, her fragile illusion of safety shatters. The man who tried to kill her just six months ago turns out to be the father of the love of her life. But this revelation comes at too high a price: now her own father knows she’s alive. One impulsive decision puts everyone Alex cares about in mortal danger.

In just a couple of months, her world has turned into a web of friendship, forbidden love, betrayal, and a corporate family feud that drags her back—to where it all began.

And when the last card is played, and the illusion of safety turns to ashes, what will she choose: to die or to kill?
