Daria is a wife. A mother. A petty criminal.

And a victim of abuse. After suffering years of mistreatment at the hands of her partner, Ray, she decides it’s time to make her escape. While Ray is on a boys’ trip to Las Vegas, she packs up her belongings and her son and leaves the USA for a fresh start in Canada.

When she arrives, she uses her powers of manipulation and her feminine wiles to secure a job in the Canadian government. She also begins to dabble in moonshining, blackmail, and espionage for a shady Cuban crime group.

For a while, it seems like she has everything under control—until one of her colleagues catches on to her tricks, seemingly hell-bent on putting a stop to her illegal activities. And then there’s that black, unmarked car following her around everywhere she goes . . .

Will Daria be defeated by the forces acting against her? Or will she use her skills in deception to rise above?
