Dalton is a man whose job it is to collect debts, by any means necessary. He's been taught to be ruthless and uncaring, business is business. During a routine collection he is offered a bribe to buy more time, a young woman who the other man has kidnapped.

Something about Ava softens him and he not only rescues her, but he kills the man who took her merely because she asks him too. Now he has a lot of problems; what to do with this girl, and how to explain it to his boss...

Ava is relieved that the man is dead and can never hurt her again, but something more sinister is going on and secrets lie hidden in the basement of the house where she was once held captive.

Dalton tries to show her that men can be trusted. Ava doesn’t realize just how much danger she’s getting herself into when she falls in love with him, and things aren’t what they seem to be. Did Ava somehow make the mistake of trusting the wrong man again? Is Dalton really going to be her savior or is he really the ruthless debt collector he was trained to be?
