After narrowly escaping a brutal and terrifying death by a group of strangers, James Stone is stranded thousands of miles from home. Broken, alone, and plagued by the demons of his past, he knows that every second of his life is now on borrowed time. Hundreds of miles away, Nicole Green walks out of a hotel room with a stolen rucksack. A bold decision that not only endangers her own life, but her younger brother's too. All for the contents of one bag. Walking out was easy, but she knows that time is running out to rescue her brother before he pays for her sins. Both Stone and Green are loners, and live by one rule. Trust can get you killed. But as their paths collide, they begin to realise that having a second pair of eyes watching their back could turn the tides of their fate, and mean the difference between life and death.
