Promise me you’ll take Maya and run.” Letty grabs her sister’s car, a “go-bag” of cash and a diamond ring and hits the road with her 4-year-old niece. Shedding her old life, she checks in at the Murmuring Surf Motel in the Florida beach town of Treasure Island. With danger closing in – it’s a race to find the truth and right the wrongs of the past.
