Gina French is having a bad year. Fighting to retain custody of her daughter and struggling to pay the rent, the last thing that she needs is to painted as a scapegoat for the escape of a notorious serial killer. Presented with an opportunity to prove her critics wrong, she takes it.

Chain-smoking her way through fear, paranoia and violence as she hunts down the missing killer, those left behind wonder who the real Gina French is: a tragic single mother, fighting for a better future, or a bitter, narcissistic bitch, more interested in gold and glory than saving an innocent life?
