Noa thought that her life was difficult. Her grades were dropping, she wouldn't talk to anyone outside her family, she'd made herself a hard, black shell to hide her fragile state of mind. All because of a secret that she had only shared with her brother Ezra, her closest ally.
Renée thought she was having the time of her life. She was a hit-woman, an assassin. She'd bring justice to the streets by disposing of the criminals who had outsmarted the law. No one, no matter how clever they were, could get past her uncle. With his genius mind and his formidable skills, he took Renée and gave her the life she'd only ever dreamed about. But her relationships- with her parents and her closest friend, Brianna- are wearing thin. Does she really want to sacrifice all this for an organisation that she shouldn't be part of?
When their paths cross, and Noa finds herself with a dead body and a mysterious phone call on her hands, both lives will be turned upside down. Renée will start to question the guidance of the only person that had ever understood her. When the truth is revealed, will she be able to cope with the consequences? And when the two girls meet, will they find out who is really in the wrong?
