Aja gets caught in the Black Widow's web. First, trapped on a remote island. Then compelled to abandon the allegiances she holds dear.

Aja knowingly sacrificed herself to save twenty girls from the Spider's Web child trafficking network. She also gave herself up thinking it would free Marsha and two other SHIELD team colleagues. Unfortunately, she never should have trusted that the Black Widow would hold up her end of the bargain.

So now, she and Marsha find themselves in the same predicament. Confined to a remote island and forced to survive under the most primitive and extreme conditions. Until the Black Widow whisks them off the island, separates them, and compels Aja to cooperate in a most unexpected project. A project that will have Aja compromising more than just her allegiance to SHIELD.

Will Aja's actions doom her crime-fighting career? And where is Marsha? Is she being tempted or tortured into traitorous actions too? And, most importantly, will either of them survive the Black Widow's clutches?
