As CEO of a successful technology firm, Nia Anderson routinely makes split-second decisions. But now, every choice she makes could lead to life in prison or to her own untimely death. She knows freedom lies in finding the real killer. But the evidence is stacked against her, and just when Nia thinks things can't get any worse, everything spins even more out of control.
