A chance meeting on the New York subway leads to the destinies of two very different women becoming intertwined with terrifying consequences.
Sixteen-year-old Addison is on the run. She´s leaving her life on New York´s streets behind for a new one with Rafe, armed with just his phone number on a scrap of paper. She´s taking the subway to meet him in New Jersey. He´ll take care of her. Or so she thinks . . .
Elizabeth Brown´s world has fallen apart and she´s thinking about her newly ex-fiance. Until she locks eyes with a teenage girl while waiting for the train doors to open, and a bundle is thrust into her arms as she leaves the subway. A baby, wrapped in a dirty coat.
Elizabeth phones the number she finds in the coat pocket. Then wishes she hadn´t. Someone wants Addison and the baby. And they´ll do whatever it takes to get them . . .
