It is a typical Tuesday morning. Scott Benton gets up, kisses his girlfriend Sarah goodbye, and goes to work. But when he returns home from work later in the afternoon, his girlfriend of two years is gone. And just like that, Scott's life is turned upside down. The police are after him, thinking he hurt her. His friends and family have turned their backs on him, thinking the same. Meanwhile, there is one thing Scott can't stop thinking about. Two months ago, Sarah told him that he should go looking for her if she ever turned up missing. Former FBI-profiler Eva Rae Thomas has enough on her plate as it is: a newborn baby, an upcoming marriage, and a house not big enough to fit them all. On top of it, she takes in a young girl who is in serious trouble, only adding to the strain on her family life. When Scott Benton shows up and tells her she's his only hope in finding his girlfriend, Eva Rae is inclined to say no, but she can't get herself to do it. Scott and Eva Rae used to date for a brief period in high school, and Eva Rae isn't the type of person who can just stop caring about someone. Especially when they have nowhere else to turn. As the investigation deepens, Eva Rae Thomas finds out what it is from her past that Sarah was so afraid of, and she'll need all of her profiling skills in the race against time to find the girl before it is too late.
