Stacy knows why. She doesn't know who.

When Stacy May breaks parole and goes on the run only two hours after her release, Elizabeth McClaine's reputation is left in ruins. Contracted to oversee Stacy's early release through the governor's new initiative, Elizabeth's reputation depends on Stacy's success.

If Elizabeth is to clear her name, and save Stacy, she must figure out why Stacy ran, and who she's running from.

And all the clues point back to those who were supposed to be saving her.
