In a cabin by a lake, a mother and father tuck their little girl into bed and kiss her goodnight. But they can't enjoy the evening summer breeze-because this is no ordinary family on vacation. This is a family with nowhere left to run... and no one left to trust. When FBI Agent Tori Hunter and Detective Will Braddock are called to a crime scene at a remote hunting cabin, they find blood everywhere. A small pink suitcase has been left behind, filled with children's clothes and medicine. Has a family been murdered on vacation, or did they run just in time? The team quickly tracks down the details of the family renting the cabin. But Braddock freezes at the last name. He claims to have never heard it before... but Tori can always tell when her partner is lying. Furious that Braddock might keep something from her when lives are at stake, when two New York City detectives show up in Minnesota with questions for Braddock her fears are proved right... because there's a murder case in Braddock's past he never told Tori about. It took over his life just after his wife died, and forced him out of the city for good. Why did he keep it secret? Tori has no time for games. Tracking down suppliers of the medicine from the cabin is her one lead to find this family before it's too late. But with fingers pointing at Braddock, and her own instincts screaming that he'd never betray her or the shield, Tori will have to put her own career on the line to defend the man she trusts above all else-and find the real killer with a deadly score to settle.
