Katy Gingrich is a college student by day and diner waitress. It's not an easy balancing act, but she's making it work. That is, until a gunman walks into the diner one night demanding money, and killing when he doesn't get what he's after. Katy is part of the carnage, among those shot and left for dead. But against the odds, she survives, and learns that she was shot over a case of mistaken identity and five million dollars in missing mob money. It's a hard road to recovery, but she gets out of the hospital with a new determination. She figures she paid in advance for that money with her pain, suffering, and loss, and she decides to go after it for herself. But wanting it and getting it are two different things. She'll need to fight off crooked cops, ruthless mobsters, local gangbangers, and an over-zealous FBI agent just to survive, much less grab the cash...
