MacKayla Somner has tried her whole life to escape a past of childhood abuse. She thought she'd done it. Now a Marine Colonel, working for the Judge Advocate General Corps, her past catches up when she's kidnapped from a grocery store parking lot in Arizona. Her assailant, a former Marine Lieutenant seeking revenge for his brother, rapes and injects her with a drug used to torture an enemy. Facing a long and hard recovery, she must now confront the past she's so desperately tried to get away from, as well as the events that occurred while captive. With the help of her best friend, a Navy Commander, she struggles to seek the balance that has been destroyed. All hope seems lost as the withdrawals and flashbacks tear her mind apart and as the date of the trial draws near. Will she be able to live the life she's strained so hard to work for? Will life ever be the same again as she spirals into darkness; unable any longer to hide from the events of her troubled childhood?
