Gina Brennan is on the run from a lot of things. Especially prison. She and two cellmates have escaped and it looks like they're nearly home free. That's until wealthy solicitor Billy Hendrick has his brains blown out and the girls are seen running away. Although he's a cop Rob O'Connell is also on the run. His wife is in a coma and he's ducking and diving to avoid the looming grief. So he buries himself in the Hendrick investigation and the puzzle of what the women could have to do with it. They should be enemies - but they have more in common than they realise. Gina is running from the law, Rob from the doctors, both from the pain of living and dying. Neither understands that they're on a collision course - until it's too late.
