I have spent my life running away. Too late I realise the thing I am trying so desperately to escape is myself. And I can never run fast or far enough to do that. I have been caught, so I suppose this story is my confession.
When Victoria escapes the prison of her childhood home, life threatens to overwhelm her.
When her affair with an older, married man is exposed, Victoria runs, joining a touring theatre company.
This leads her to Cornwall where a violent confrontation lands her in prison. Keen to escape her past, Victoria reinvents herself as Alex. She meets Mike. Handsome, loving, trusting.
But Alex’s perfect new life is threatened when somebody recognises her, culminating in a horrifying and bloody denouement where Alex could lose everything, including her life.
