PODEZŘELÁ Z VRAŽDY. NA ÚTĚKU. PROTI VŠEM. Jack Crossová má batoh plný paklíčů, skvěle ovládá umění převleků a kamufláže a umí výborně lhát. Velké korporace si ji s jejím manželem Gabem najímají, aby otestovali zabezpečení jejich budov a pokusili se nabourat bezpečnostní systémy– a oni jsou ve své práci vážně dobří. Nebo alespoň byli. Když Jack pokazí rutinní zakázku pro pojišťovací společnost Arden Alliance, ještě netuší, jak dramaticky se má její život změnit. To zjistí až po návratu domů, kde najde Gabea s podříznutým krkem, a hned nato je zatčena. Gabe před smrtí uzavřel nezvykle vysokou životní pojistku, což z ní dělá perfektní podezřelou. Aby dokázala svou nevinu, nezbývá Jack nic jiného než využít všech svých schopností: musí utéct z policejní stanice a vypátrat skutečného vraha na vlastní pěst. Pokud to nedokáže, skončí na doživotí za mřížemi. Čas se neúprosně krátí a tentokrát nesmí udělat žádnou chybu…
