Thirteen years have passed since the day Sarah and Jennifer, young students of the Ohio State University, ended up in the hands of a maniac and, together with Tracy and Christine—just like their other unfortunate friends—spent three years in captivity. One day, Jennifer disappears, and the girls have no doubt that she is already dead. No one knows what fate would have awaited the young prisoners if not for a lucky turn of events. Sarah manages to escape. Justice seems to be restored: the girls are free, the criminal is in custody—but the emotional wound doesn’t heal. And then comes a new shock: at the trial, the question of early release for Jack Derber— the man who ruined their lives—is raised. And Sarah does everything possible to ensure that the nightmare she endured will never repeat itself.
