Fearing for their lives, fleeing dangerous situations, Jane's clients come to her when they need to vanish completely - to assume new identities and establish new lives where they won't be found. And when people are desperate enough to need her services, they come to the old house in rural western New York state where Jane was raised. It's there that, one spring night, Jane finds Sara, a young woman fresh from LA with a whole lot of trouble behind her. Sara had a lover, and her boyfriend found out.

Outsmarting Sara's murderous boyfriend is not beyond Jane's skills. But he has some new friends: members of a Russian organized crime brotherhood. When they learn that Sara is traveling with a tall, dark-haired woman who disappears people, the Russians become incredibly interested in helping the boyfriend find the duo. They've heard rumours that such a woman existed - and believe that her knowledge of past clients could be worth millions. Thus begins a bloodthirsty chase that winds through the cities of the northeastern US before finally plunging into Maine's Hundred Mile Wilderness. But in a pursuit where nothing can be trusted, one thing is certain: only one party - Jane or her pursuers - will emerge alive.
