Eliza Benedict carefully crafted peaceful, ordinary suburban life is shattered when Walter Bowman's letter tells her "I'd know you anywhere". In 1985, Walter cowered her when he kept her captive at 15 for 39 days. Now on prison's deathrow and within weeks of his execution for the rape and murder of another girl, he re-enters her life to manipulate her to save his life. Eliza agrees to talk to him. The story unfolds on two fronts: one reveals her past ordeal and the other her current life as she interacts with her moody daughter, her daughter's teachers, her sweet son, convicted killer Walter, and his civilian advocate. A fast-paced psychological look at victim and the aftermath of a violent crime.
