Shelving her PhD to clean the homes of the rich and famous, and spending her evenings in low-rent bars, Shannon rebels against everything her academic family stands for. But when her parents are tortured and murdered, Shannon is consumed by guilt and vows to find out who was responsible.

What they reveal leaves her stunned and makes clear that Shannon's past - and future - is irrevocably linked with theirs. And so begins a race against the clock to find her parents' killers - before the killers find her ...
