Early one Thursday morning, forensic scientist Theresa
MacLean is called to the scene of a gruesome murder. The
body of a man has been found on the front lawn of a house in
suburban Cleveland, the back of his head bashed in. Although
it's not the best start to her day, Theresa has been through
worse. What unfolds during the next eight hours, though, is
nothing she could ever have imagined.
Downtown at the Federal Reserve Bank, her police detective
fiancé is taken hostage with six others in a robbery
masterminded by two clever criminals. When she arrives at
the scene, Theresa discovers that the police have brought in
the city's best hostage negotiator: handsome, high-profile
Chris Cavanaugh. He hasn't lost a victim yet, but Theresa
wonders if he might be too arrogant to save the day this
time around.
When her fiancé is injured, she seizes the opportunity to
trade places with him. Once on the inside, she will use all
her wiles, experience, and technical skills to gain control
of the situation. But what initially appears to be a bank
heist turns into something far more complex and deadly, and
Theresa must decide how much more she is willing to
sacrifice in order to save the lives of innocent people as
well as her own.
