But before he is sent to prison, he makes her a promise: ‘I will be coming for you. No matter how long it takes.’And Nelson Stewart isn’t one to make empty promises.

Sam is granted a new name and a new identity. As Mary Smith she moves across the country to start life afresh, but she knows full well what her ex-husband is capable of – and that his reach stretches far beyond prison walls.

What was supposed to be a new beginning for Mary becomes the biggest cat and mouse game of her life, where nothing is quite what it appears to be, where she HIDES and he SEEKS, however long it takes, because to some, revenge can be an art form.
