Synopsis

Washington D.C., 1943: Virginia Abrams believed the war had taken all it could from her when her husband was killed in the Philippines. One year later, she's in a dark, unexpected quandary—pregnant and on the run to avoid a ruthless political family that wants to erase all connections between her and the man who assaulted her.

Changing her name, Virginia moves to Seattle to start over. Against her better instincts, she's pulled into the lives of her new neighbors in an apartment complex—especially Tim, a young boy whose mother dies suddenly in a fall. Virginia fears that her whereabouts have been discovered and she was the intended target.

But there are secrets between the residents too. Tim is convinced there are saboteurs among them. Virginia wants to discount his teenage imagination and her own rising paranoia, yet there's something menacing here.

Torn between wanting to help the boy and safeguarding her anonymity, Virginia begins piecing the puzzle together with the help of some of her neighbors. But others are dying in an escalating series of "accidents." No one is entirely who they seem to be. And though she doesn't know it yet, her own life is hanging by the thinnest thread.
