Evie Cormack was found as a child at the scene of a brutal murder, and refuses to tell anything of her past or what happened to her, because she fears that anyone who does know will get killed and get her killed.

Forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven teams up with Sacha Hopewell, the police officer who found Evie, to try to find out what danger she fears and how to protect her from it, but it seems that the danger comes from some very powerful and influential people.
