One fateful encounter upends the lives of two women in this tense
domestic thriller, a modern spin on Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers On A
Train that flips the script on race and gender politics.
"I'm a big believer that women should help each other, Tasha," she
says. "Don't you think?"
Tasha Jenkins has finally found the courage to leave her abusive
husband. Taking her teenage son with her, Tasha checks into a hotel the
night before their flight out of D.C. and out of Kordell Jenkins's life
forever. But escaping isn't so easy, and Tasha soon finds herself
driving back to her own personal hell. As she is leaving, a white woman
pounds on her car window, begging to be let in. Behind the woman, an
angry man is in pursuit. Tasha makes a split-second decision that will
alter the course of her life: she lets her in and takes off.
Tasha and Madison Gingell may have very different everyday realities,
but what they have in common is marriages they need out of. The two
women want to help each other, but they have very different ideas of
what that means . . .
They are on a collision course that will end in the case files of the
D.C. MPD homicide unit. Unraveling the truth of what really happened may
be impossible‒and futile. Because what has the truth ever done for women
like Tasha and Madison?
