A gang of masked gunmen murder a man right in front of reporter Olivia Brant. Now they're after her–the newswoman witness who won't rest until she gets her story. She's rescued in the nick of time by a six–foot–four former bodyguard, but Olivia hardly feels safe.

She's certain Daniel Ash is connected to her investigation into the dead man's business dealings, but how? With no one left to trust, Olivia accepts Daniel's offer of shelter at his abandoned country house in rural Ontario. But the killers are not far behind, and determined that Olivia takes the evidence she's uncovered to her grave.
