FBI special agent Julianna James has worked hard to overcome the trauma she experienced from a high school shooting during her senior year. She is now a top-notch hostage negotiator who has never lost a hostage. So when her much younger sister, Dottie, shows up unannounced, Julianna is confident that she can manage her. But life is not that simple—especially when Julianna becomes entangled in a deadly hostage situation that could place anyone she loves in the crossfire.
