Two lovers imprisoned in adjoining cells for a crime they did not commit, their hushed reassurances have kept them warm, but now their whispers waver with uncertainty. They cannot comprehend the troubling rumors, and faced with the terrifying prospect of being separated forever, their hope is fading out.

Desperate to keep his love from losing hope, the man distracts the woman with a story of Josh and Katie. Josh's fate was sealed when he left Katie to write for The New York Times. On the eve of his first true success, things should be snapping into place for Josh. But when Josh meets Natalie, a free spirit with a troubling secret, his refusal to see the truth threatens to snap Josh in two. Like a lifeline thrown to a drowning man, Katie's message after five long years should be a welcome break from the red envelopes that keep landing on his desk, but it isn't. What is the meaning of the disturbing contents of the letters? Who is Josh's stalker, known only as 'The Mysterious S?' FBI Agent Chance Fry investigates, but as he grows closer to the truth, he realizes that this is no ordinary case. Unfortunately, the revelation may come too late. Even tender words, heated debates, and a tragic tale of love lost cannot distract the two from the inevitable as their jailers prepare to carry out a nefarious plan, there seems to be no escape.
