Rikers Island is supposed to be controlled-everything observed, everything contained. Marie Pham's first day as a prison psychologist is meant to be routine... until Benjamin Poindexter notices her. Violent. Precise. Unpredictable in ways the system can't fully explain. He doesn't like new things. But he doesn't ignore them either. And in a place built to watch people, Marie realizes too late- she's not just evaluating him. He's already decided to study her.
