Nine-year-old Pace Morrow pretended it was the happiest day of her life when her mother married the county sheriff. But she knew it wasn't happily ever after.

It was another scam.

While her new step-dad runs errands in town, Pace and her twin sister are ripped from their home, chased into the wilderness by a monster neither girl can escape.

Their mother.

Armed with a manufactured story of horrific abuse, Pace's mother convinces a well-meaning family to take them in.

Will they see through the con-artist's tale?

Or will Pace and her sister disappear again before their mother's crimes catch up with them?
