Forced to become accustomed to a life on the run, she soon learns more about herself and her past than she could ever bear to live with.As for Andre Abrahamian, he knows exactly how much sacrifice it takes to stay alive in a world that wants to kill him; he would be dead if he didn't.

When they unexpectedly meet in a cave etched into the side of a mountain, Ana and Andre are fighting for more than just their lives. Both scapegoats of conflicts larger than man, they are drawn to each other, and soon discover that together, they have the potential to live a life free from debt. To achieve this, however, they must be willing to hand over to one another the last part of their lives that belong to themselves.
