Marissa, age 30 is a farm girl who has been forced to be a drug mule for the past three years. The Cartel has rendered her unable to walk without crutches. Though she hates what she is doing with every ounce of her being, she feels she has no choice but to co-operate with them in order to protect her family. She looks upon a diagnosis of cancer as her ticket out. Braxton is the psychologist that Marissa's oncologist has referred her to for a competency declaration. At the last minute, she changes her mind and refuses to be his patient. He takes an interest in her and when she needs surgery for a broken wrist and cannot manage on her own, he takes her home for a couple weeks. When his parents are in an accident and he has to go to them, the Cartel transfers her to another state and forbids any contact with Braxton. She misses him more than she'd thought she would. Will she get out and if she does, what happens afterward? Will she ever see Braxton again?
