Raven Ledger is running from people who blame her for her brother's crime. The city is grappling with the murders of twenty-one people at Allegheny High School. The news of the shooting is on every television station. The nation is talking about what happened . . . They're also talking about the shooter's twin sister who has disappeared.
Raven is being hunted by a gang that lost members in the massacre. Her nemesis, Blanco, the girl Raven saved at school that day, leads the chase. Blanco and the other gang members are out for blood and won't give up until they get revenge.
Raven's only priority is to find a safe place to live and move on with her life. She agrees to go to a secret shelter for women, but the women who live there are no strangers to violence. One woman in particular won't rest until Raven pays the price of admittance.
Raven flees the shelter and finds herself alone again. Desperate, she takes a chance and calls an old acquaintance who sends her to see someone in South Philadelphia. With no friends and too many enemies, Raven bravely steps into the close-knit neighborhood that doesn't welcome outsiders.
But no matter where she goes, cruel people cross Raven's path, wanting her to be punished. Raven's torment worsens until she is embraced by a man who is so powerful and deadly, that no one dares to cross him . . . except for one person.
