Karen is so lonely that she actually resorts to speed-dating. But when she turns up and sits down opposite Dan, he doesn't talk to her. When he finally meets her gaze, she catches an answering echo of loneliness thrusting out from behind his eyes. As much as she resists their shared culture, the force of their connection; she quickly realises that without Dan, she would be lost forever. Dan helps her come to terms with her past, and puts his life and freedom into ensuring hers. But can even he overcome the obstacles in their path? And will Karen ever be the same again, once Resh and his cronies have finished with her?
