Every Tuesday, Hayley Morgan drops off her six-year-old son, Max, at the baby-sitter's, then drives the deserted stretch of highway south from New Orleans to the maximum security prison where she works. Every Tuesday, Max waits out front at the baby-sitter's, eager for Hayley to return.

One Tuesday, the routine isn't quite so smooth.

Because Max disappears. He's been abducted. But there's one man—lawyer Slade Reeves—who can help her.

He's Hayley's only link to Max. She knows she has to trust him, although he appears to be invovled with Max's kidnapping.

Even worse, she starts falling for Slade…falling for the enemy.
