When a young widow witnesses a fatal car accident outside a Jersey Shore motel, she's suddenly thrust into a nightmare of gang violence, guns, and money that she can't outrun.
Joette Harper's life brings new meaning to the phrase "paycheck to
paycheck." Struggling to afford her mother's sky-high medical bills
and also keep the lights on in her trailer home, Joette needs a break.
So, when she spies a briefcase full of money amongst the wreckage of a
fiery car accident, she knows she can't just let it be. Inside is a
bounty better than she could have dreamed-just shy of $300,000 in
neatly stacked hundreds and fifties. Enough to pay off her debts, give
her mother the care she deserves, and maybe even help out a few of her
friends.
But, of course, the missing briefcase didn't go unnoticed by its
original owner, Travis Clay -a ruthless dealer who'll stop at nothing
to get back what's his.
Joette is way out of her depth, but can't seem to stop herself from
participating in this cat-and-mouse chase. But can she beat Travis at
his own game?
