When seventeen-year-old Liva came to New York City, all she wanted was to escape the painful memories of her past and finally find a fresh start. Her hopes for a new future were dashed the moment she became the sole witness to a brutal murder. When sheâs taken into police custodyâsupposedly for her own protectionâshe realizes something isnât right, but itâs too late. Soon, bullets start flying, and Liva realizes that she is not just a witness, but the target.
With the help of Jay, a sexy car thief that she met at the station, Liva manages to escape unharmed, but now the two of them are alone in New York, trying to outrun and outwit the two killers who will stop at nothing to find them. Liva and Jay are living on the edge, but when youâre on the edge, thereâs a long way to fall.
