This is a story of David and Golliath ...
... where David is a young college student and Goliath is represented by the combined forces of local and federal law enforcement. There will be no Jason Bourne or Ethan Hunt to step in and save the day. She must somehow save herself using the only resources at her disposal – a man she meets in a dumpster, who claims to know her and his dead cell phone. This may not be enough to do the job when the shit hits the fan.
​
When young college student, Kathryn Benton, comes home one night and learns her parents have been brutally murdered, porch camera video reveals the killer’s identities—two meth-heads known in the neighborhood as trouble. In that moment, rage supersedes sanity. She tracks and kills them but, having no experience with committing a crime, is quickly arrested. With Kathryn facing the death sentence or life in prison, she awaits trial. 
A ruthless politician, seeing Kathryn’s misfortune as an opportunity to increase his power, devises a plan whereby Kathryn is coerced into assassinating an innocent man, that she’s been persuaded is a terrorist, in exchange for her freedom. However, for the politician’s plan to succeed, Kathryn must be killed before she can tell the truth. 
When unexpected circumstances allow Kathryn to escape, she has four days to find out who wants her dead, gather proof that she was lied to, and create a new life, while evading FBI and police working to capture her to stand trial for her crimes. With authorities closing in by the hour, Kathryn further discovers two foreign mercenaries have been unleashed to assure she is DEAD BY MONDAY.
