She soon finds herself in a race against time to save herself-and her marriage-from her ex-husband turned serial killer, who will stop at nothing until he has her back.

But on a trip to her rural hometown, old tensions suddenly threaten to boil over. Her Polo-wearing husband sticks out dangerously among the hardened folk of Grundy County. And when the visit goes horribly awry, Ashley, handed shocking news, realizes the past has a stubborn way of coming back.
As Ashley's carefully constructed life begins to splinter around her, she finds herself in a fight for her life, drawn deeper into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. This killer knows her better than anyone-and he'll stop at nothing, murder included, to get her where he wants her.
