Maybe death isn’t the big, scary event we think it is. Perhaps it is an escape route instead — a ‘get out of jail free’ card from all the tragedies and woes of life.

Amy Crusoe, a victim of domestic violence, reasons her fear away as she seeks a divorce from her husband, the ruthless and powerful Senator Victor Crusoe.

After months of receiving threatening phone calls and hiding out in her apartment, Amy’s best friend coaxes her to join her for an evening on the town at a local nightclub.

While there, she meets the attractive and mysterious Marcus Hutch, who takes her under his wing and offers her protection, with one stipulation: that she trust him, without reservation.

As Amy falls hopelessly in love, she soon discovers that Hutch possesses unnatural abilities that defy human explanation and a dark, predatory side that resembles her abusive husband, causing her to question his motives at every turn.

When the two become snowed in together at Hutch’s home, chaos erupts after Victor discovers their relationship and seeks to sabotage it.

As secrets are exposed, and treachery unfolds, Amy is driven to the brink of madness and is confronted with her own savage nature as she embarks on a quest for retribution.

Who will dominate in this action-packed, high-stakes game of survival and forbidden love, the predator or the prey?
