Nicole Frank crawls from her wrecked car in the darkness and rain, driven by one desperate thought: she must find Vero, a missing little girl. But when Sergeant Wyatt Foster searches for the child, his dogs find nothing. Nicole's husband Thomas arrives with disturbing news. His wife suffers from a brain injury that makes her memories unreliable. The police shouldn't believe anything she says. Foster digs deeper into the accident and discovers Nicole has survived multiple close calls in recent months. Someone wants her dead. Nicole struggles to separate truth from delusion as her own mind betrays her. She has no family and no close friends to help her piece together what really happened that night. Foster grows more concerned as he investigates. Was the crash random bad luck or attempted murder? Nicole must figure out who she really is and why someone keeps trying to kill her before the next attempt succeeds.
