Luke Dayton, a sophomore at a Virginia college, is walking home form the corner store when out of nowhere a man literally snatches him from off the street. To his horror, Luke learns that the man is a recent prison escapee - and that his plan to keep his freedom involves taking Luke's.

Over the next five days, Luke is forcibly taken on a cross-country journey across several states, witnessing a crime spree that has no rhyme or reason, except to his captor. The only hope Luke has of returning home to the life and loved ones he was removed from is to figure out where he is ultimately being taken...and what plans his kidnapper has for him once they reach their mysterious destination.

A new work of suspense from the author of HOSTAGES AT THE KITCHEN TABLE.
