Carter Mays' newest client, Dana Carrington, has been given a year to live. Her prognosis didn't' come from a medical professional, but rather the handsome, charming man she met while on a business trip. After an evening with charismatic stranger, Mike Sweeney, filled with potential and intrigue, things quickly deteriorate into the most frightening and traumatic experience of Dana's life. Presented as an opportunity to be envied, Sweeney instructs Dana to spend the next year living life to the fullest, pursuing every extraordinary opportunity she every dreamt about.

When the year is up, Mike intends to reconvene for a romantic evening that will end with Dana's death. However, if Dana dares to contact law enforcement, her impending death will come much quicker and be far more brutal. Paralyzed by fear of the seemingly ever- present Sweeney, Dana hires Carter to protect her and stop her psychopathic suitor.
