After being promoted to a law firm, Kathleen Turner is learning the ropes of being an investigator, much to the dismay of her boyfriend Blaine Kirk. But when the target of her pursuers becomes none other than her mentor Cade Dennon, the process of training fades into the background. A former FBI agent and assassin for hire, he was untouchable until he developed a weak spot, which his enemies learned about - his brother's girlfriend.

Nevertheless, Kathleen, no matter what became, strives to become an investigator. Unfortunately, the new case turns out to be much more dangerous for her than anyone could have imagined. An unsteady web of events very soon leads the girl to a turning point not only in her career, but also... in life, because someone from Blaine Kirk’s inner circle really wants to break up their relationship - and the methods of achieving this goal may turn out to be much more terrible for Kathleen, than just death.
