When New Orleans District Attorney Kirsten Lord and her
nine-year-old daughter are imperiled by a chillingly
believeable death threat, Lord has no other choice but to
accept the Witness Portection Program's offer to hide them
in Boulder, Colorado. There, they meet program beteran
Carl Luppo, a solitary mob hit man who is tormented by his
former life and has nothing but time for regret. Sensing
that Lord and her daughter's safety has been compromised,
Luppo takes on the role of sentinel, fully realizing this
might be his last shot at redemption. While Lord suspects
that Luppo's warnings about the program's dark side are
for her own protection and that she should believe the
former assasssin's instincts, the only person she can
really trust is nine years old.
