A CIA agent starts her European honeymoon expecting romance, not murder. When someone poisons both her and her new husband, she watches him die while she clings to life. The toxin gives her exactly seventy-two hours before her organs shut down. She uses every minute hunting the people who destroyed her marriage and her future. Meanwhile, a Washington DC tech executive receives orders to eliminate his family when a business deal collapses. He transforms the death sentence into a military operation, drawing on combat skills he thought he'd left behind. Across the country in Los Angeles, a doctor's trust in her housekeepers proves fatal. After she dies in a bungled drug theft, the two grifters battle each other for control of her estate. Their scheme attracts the Russian mob's attention, turning greed into a survival game. Three stories explore how quickly ordinary lives spiral into violence when the people you trust become your enemies.
