After getting snatched from the side of the road, Charlotte Walker finds herself in a fight for her life. She soon discovers that her captor is a serial killer who has gone undetected for years. While escape seems impossible at first, Charlotte eventually realizes that she might have one chance. But even if she managed to get away, what else is waiting for her out in the forest?
Charlotte soon finds herself in the company of another, very different man. John Harrison lives alone, and the last thing he wants is to be disturbed by outsiders. When Charlotte arrives, with her captor in hot pursuit, she quickly learns that not everyone wants to be a hero. Some people just want the world to pass them by, and John Harrison in particular is willing to do anything to make sure that he's left alone. Even if that means taking a few prisoners himself.

Trapped in a desperate race to survive, Rebecca begins to discover the true depths of Ted's madness.

When the police knock on her door and ask for her help, she initially refuses, but deep down she knows that she has to do whatever it takes in order to make sure that Ted faces justice.
