She s on the trail of an elaborate Ponzi scheme, one that threatens to ruin the lives of naive and unsuspecting victims, and one she has personal reasons to be angry about. But after she asks the wrong people questions, her life is suddenly endangered. She s accustomed to looking out for others who are weak, but being vulnerable herself makes her realize she needs help.
