After his unexpected death, she is left all alone in the world with no one but an aunt she barely knows in California. To honor one of her father’s last wishes, she decides to travel out west to live with her aunt. However, everything is about to change forever when an old friend shows up out of nowhere offering to travel with her for protection.

When a criminal from his past gets entwined in their journey and further endangers Elise, he becomes more desperate than ever.
