Kevin and Kasey Conley have everything going for a happy marriage, flourishing careers, a baby on the way. Then a menacing stranger enters their lives, evoking a distant past and forcing Kevin to take a daring measure to protect both his wife and an emotionally fragile sister. But can Kasey cope with the ramifications of the choice her husband makes--one that places both their marriage and careers at risk? Or will Kevin face the ultimate irony that the very action taken to protect his wife will cause him to lose her? As the circumstances unfold, it becomes clear that neither they nor the stranger are prepared for the fate that awaits them.
