But with an ex Special Forces turned policeman brother constantly controlling her and her place, she is a serious obstacle in Mike's search, until she becomes a welcome and dangerous distraction. As their plans escalate and their world narrows, a shattering moment of violence will forever change their futures and reveal the truth behind Mike's arrival and Sam's motives.
