She never should have gotten into his car.
Marcus Crawford swore he’d never go back to prison. He still believes he didn’t deserve it the first time—it was an accident, even if the jury didn’t see it that way. The only silver lining from those dark days was Crystal. She supported him through letters. She gave him hope. After his release, they planned a life together with her nine-year-old daughter, Hannah.
But everything fell apart. Marcus found a needle in Crystal’s gym bag. She lied about her whereabouts. The signs of her addiction were too clear to ignore. He tried to help her like she helped him—but she pushed him away. Her addiction won.
Now, Marcus is gone, and Crystal’s life has only spiraled further. And Hannah? She’s still stuck in the middle.
On a scorching day in Elko, Nevada, a man waits outside an elementary school in a stolen car. He’s not there by chance. He’s waiting for one child—Hannah. When the bell rings and she walks out, she gets into the car without hesitation.
Crystal’s too far gone to stop this. Marcus may be the only one who can. But he’s out of the picture. Or is he?
