She can't escape the past …

Mellie Rivers's job as a nurse allows her to help those the dystopian government has deemed unworthy of medical care. The threats she's been receiving are a small price to pay. Besides, she has the help of her new neighbor-German missionary and powerlifter Friedrich Wolf.

Friedrich didn't expect to be drawn into protecting Mellie, but now he's getting all too close to her-and to the danger threatening her life.

When the threats turn to something more, Friedrich and Mellie face a danger neither of them could've imagined, and they'll have to find a way to escape a situation that has no escape.

Because midnight has come.
