After twenty years, devastation has come back to DC in the form of serial killer Jimmy Yates. Throughout his reign of terror, only one person has ever been able to elude his clutches. Mary Anderson is the girl that survived. Now that Mary is all grown up, Yates has returned, and is determined to rectify his mistake.

Only one person now stands between Jimmy Yates and his revenge. FBI Special Agent Devon Walker is hell-bent on keeping Mary alive while the rest of his team track down and apprehend the elusive serial killer. At the same time, Yates will do anything to get his chance at Mary, and after years of planning his revenge, Yates is sadistic in the creativity of the torture methods he plans to deliver to his victim.

Every day that passes, Mary fights against her growing feelings towards Agent Walker, knowing that any moment could be her last. Agent Walker, after spending weeks protecting Mary, came to the shattering realization that he'd make himself a target before he allowed Yates to get his hands on Mary. Now, the FBI races against the clock, knowing they don't have much time before Yates finds a window and succeeds in finishing what he started many years ago.
