Eve is a teenage runaway, who takes the infant-and the sack full of cash-away from him. Hester is an outcast, living alone in a backwoods cottage, harboring secrets of her own. When their paths cross, it's anyone's guess who'll come out on top.With the law hot on their trail and the traffickers' hired guns closing in, this unlikely trio is soon holed up together-and at one another's throats.
