When attempts on their lives begin and Matthias disappears, Larkin works with her friends at the police department to delve into the mystery and determine who and what wants both Matthias and herself dead. Is it related to the present patient or is it much deeper and more sinister, tied to events in the past? A tangled web of deceit, fraud and murders is disclosed even as Matthias and Larkin are sent on the run with a security team to keep them alive. Larkin has to learn to trust God in a whole new way, rediscovering her hope in Him and both Matthias and Larkin their love for one another.
