While training for a race, Evie Nichols is suddenly attacked by a stranger in broad daylight. With no witnesses and no resolution from the authorities, Evie is left terrified for her life. As she struggles to cope with the trauma, she becomes a prisoner in her own apartment, too scared to even step outside. But when her best friend Steph signs them up for self-defense classes, Evie begins to feel a glimmer of hope. Together, they learn about aggression, knife fighting, and choking attacks, determined to never be caught off guard again. But as they become more skilled, Evie's attacker lurks in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike again. Can Evie overcome her fear and take back control of her life, or will she always be looking over her shoulder?
