Aquila Lawrence is an ordinary girl with a big heart and even bigger dreams. At 21 years old, she's happy enough with her little life: her days are filled with college, hangouts with her best friend, Charlotte, and time spent with her loving parents. Nevertheless, she dreams of bigger things: a life of luxury, a business empire and the love of a good man... the richer the better!
Then, one night, Aquila meets a man at a party who promises to make all of her dreams come true. At first glance, Donald seems to be everything that Aquila has been waiting for. He's wealthy, successful and utterly charming. When he offers to drive Aquila to his mansion to show her his art collection, she doesn't think twice.
But our young heroine will soon come to regret her hasty decision. Within a few hours of meeting Donald, Aquila finds herself alone in the woods, surrounded by the pitch-black night, with only the distant hoot of an owl to break the silence.
As she races through the darkness, running for her life, Aquila knows that she will never again be the innocent young girl that she once was. But will she be able to face the troubles ahead? Will she be able to navigate the twists and turns of fate in order to fulfil her destiny and emerge as the woman that she has always dreamt of becoming?
