Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are no strangers to international conflict, but this time theyre facing a threat much closer to home. Amena, the young Syrian refugee they have taken into their care, is having trouble settling into her new life in South Carolina. As they all struggle to figure out the bounds of their new life, a fight with Pike sends Amena running to the streets of Charleston, where she befriends a girl and her Serbian guardian who may not be as harmless as they seem. Pike, wild with worry over Amenas disappearance, makes it his mission to bring her home safely, but she is in much more danger than they realize. To make matters worse, classified nuclear information may also be on the line. While Pike is on the warpath, Amena learns of the Serbians true nature and the terrible exit fee he exacts from girls who dont play by his rules. Now its up to Pike to find her but the risk will be much higher than he imagines.
