Two months a prisoner, now a fugitive. Robyn escapes the clutches of the dangerous mob boss, Kyle, only to find herself hitchhiking across the country. But even a new identity and the kindness of strangers can't outrun the truth of her past... or the life growing inside her.

Twelve-year-old Johnny Valentine is a fugitive, hiding in plain sight as 'Billy Chase' in the dusty town of Palm Valley, California. He and his grandmother, Stella Valentine, are on the run after committing audacious armed robberies to steal life-saving medication for Stella's cancer. But their quiet life is a cage, and Stella is fading fast, her fighting spirit dimmed by the need to hide. When a mysterious online figure contacts Johnny, claiming to know his true identity and promising eternal life for his grandmother, Johnny faces an impossible choice: maintain their cover and watch Stella die, or embrace his heroic impulses and risk everything?
