You can run, but you can't hide ... forever.

On a cold January evening, Detective Liam Hunter and his partner are called to investigate the discovery of a woman's body in the woods on the outskirts of Ottawa. She's the missing fiancée of a wealthy businessman twice her age who claims to know nothing about her murky past.

That same evening, a young woman escapes from a downtown condo where she's been held captive. Eighteen-year-old Sara McGowan takes the fleeing woman under her wing, only to become the target of the trafficking ring desperate to get her back.

Meanwhile, reporter Ella Tate is attempting to track down an anonymous source who claims to have evidence of illegal activity that implicates people in high positions — people who will do anything to protect their reputations.

The stakes mount and lives collide as Hunter and Tate desperately work to solve a murder with tentacles more far-reaching than either can imagine.

The question is: who will survive this web of secrets unscathed?
