Matthew Wilson is an anxious, introverted librarian with an amazing fiancé Hugh, or at least he thinks so. But his world unravels when he's kidnapped by Chanse Collins, who claims to be a detective and tells Matthew that Hugh is plotting to kill him.

Matthew is forced to abandon his carefully planned life, including caring for his comatose mother and preparing for his wedding. Instead, he finds himself on the run with a stranger he isn't sure he can trust.

As the two cross the country in search of safety, Matthew begins to question everything he thought he knew -- about Hugh, about Chanse, even about himself. Torn between love, fear, and survival, he must uncover the truth before it's too late. Is Chanse his savior? Or will he end up becoming Hugh's victim after all?
