Amanda Crosby, an antiques dealer who escaped two treacherous prison plots, finally finds peace after her stalker is captured. She vows never to be a victim again, but that hope shatters when her business partner Derek England is found dead hours after she leaves a threatening message. All evidence points to Amanda, and Chief of Police Sean Mercer builds a case against her. When another colleague falls victim to a brutal murder, it becomes clear that someone else is behind the killings. Amanda must confront a relentless killer—and the man who once tried to lock her up—if she wants to survive the hunt for the third and final victim.
