“Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life.” ~ Sophocles
An American couple, Ethan and Sophia, travel to crime-infested Russia to adopt a baby boy. What can go wrong? What won’t go wrong?
Before leaving for the Siberian child house and despite warnings, they make an awful decision to leave their Moscow apartment to go to a bar – a bar frequented by savage gangsters. They become high profile targets in a hell-raising crime spree. Even though they break free, a humiliated, violent, sadistic killer vows revenge. They eventually have to separate to survive.
Crippled by her circumstances – no language skills, no cell phone, no landline, no nearby family, no gun and a baby to protect, Sophia knows she’s trapped for now. She must stay locked in the Moscow apartment to keep her infant safe.
She discovers someone, hired to help her, has lied to her and is likely to betray her. As her world becomes smaller and smaller and more dangerous, she must quickly find a way out.
And the enraged thug? He tracks her to the Moscow apartment. Day after day, he stalks and plots for the perfect moment to strike.
How can she and her baby escape the sadist she met in the bar? Can embattled Ethan reunite with his family and return to the US?
