When Liv Dugan ducks out of work for lunch, it's just an ordinary day. When she returns, she stumbles onto a massacre. All her colleagues at Zuma Software have been shot. Only luck has left Liv unscathed, and that might be running out . . .

Liv suspects the shootings are tied to her past-and to the package she recently received from her long-dead adoptive mother. Sensing she's being followed, Liv jumps into a stranger's car and orders him to drive. Her "hostage" complies, listening carefully as her story unwinds. Skeptical at first, he ultimately begins to believe all Liv's fears are justified . . .

Together, Liv and her unlikely confidant try to uncover the truth about her adoptive family, her birth parents and her troubled childhood. Because somewhere in Liv's past is a secret worth killing for, and a nightmare she can never outrun . . .
