Her desperation drives her to make a fateful choice when she witnesses a car accident. The driver is dead; a satchel beside him contains half a million dollars. Desperate, Hilary takes the money. This single act unleashes a terrifying chain of events. The cash isn't merely lost; it’s intrinsically tied to a brutal twenty-year-old murder, and someone very dangerous is coming to reclaim it. Hilary quickly finds herself the quarry in a deadly cat-and-mouse game, entangled in a web of deceit that involves a vulnerable old woman and a powerful figure with everything to hide. With her life and her son’s safety on the line, Hilary finds an unexpected ally in a determined Staten Island police official who has his own tragic connection to the blood money, forcing her to summon unimaginable courage to protect her family and expose the truth before it’s too late.
