But after she breaks the rules and spends an afternoon with a cute boy, the sheltered teen is horrified to stumble into a brutal murder scene.
Discovering the killer is still there, Retta runs for her life, only getting to temporary safety with the help of a friend. Then she dials a mysterious phone number her mom forced her to memorize … only to be whisked away to a new existence she barely understands.
Not knowing whom to trust, can Retta get to the bottom of why she feels like she’s in danger?
