Advocate Sunny McLane isn't happy about her new caseload. In addition to working with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, she is directed by the District Attorney to work with victims of ritual abuse.

Horrified at the heinous abuse committed by cults upon innocent children and adults, Sunny is stunned by the deliberate cover-up in public services. She must risk professional ridicule and reputation if she is to do the job.

Investigation into a local cult thrusts her into a series of situations that demand perilous choices. Prepare yourself for a thrill ride that cascades from Sunny's struggle to survive in the wilderness as she crosses the snowbound Sierra Nevadas to plunging deep within mysterious tunnels built by the Chinese during the gold rush.

This powerful story of love and loss, desperation and determination, builds to an explosive conclusion as everyone she loves becomes a target for those intent on stopping her.
