After witnessing the murder of her husband, brilliant profiler Estrela Valente is forced into hiding under the protection of a federal agent she doesn't trust.
Teodoro Shen is calm, controlled, dangerously observant - and far too wealthy to be just another government employee.
The isolated house in the middle of the Amazon rainforest was supposed to keep her safe.
Instead, it becomes a cage filled with secrets.
Because Teodoro isn't who he claims to be.
And Estrela isn't just a witness.
She's a threat.
As tension turns into obsession, the line between protection and captivity begins to blur. Every glance feels like a warning. Every touch feels like betrayal. And somewhere between loaded guns, dangerous truths, and sleepless nights in the jungle, Estrela realizes the terrifying truth:
The man protecting her may be the son of the man who destroyed her life.
But walking away from him might be even more dangerous.
