In Port City, Virginia, Veronica Baird was kidnapped by a masked man. She was kept in a dirt basement. When she got away, she ran through the woods. Pete Nealey has been drinking when he sees Veronica. He thinks he is dreaming. She helps him back to his house so she can get cleaned up. They continue running together while Anthony Whelan’s thugs track them and chase after them.

The story was steady, the characters were somewhat developed, and it was written in third person point of view. This was just an average mystery. None of the characters really stood out to me.
