"Kaylie McMillan is a victim of time, and her time is running out. She is pursuing a man from her past, and when time and circumstance exchange places, the hunter becomes the hunted. John Cray is a brillant killer haunted by an obsession to demystify his female victims by literally taking off their faces after a horrifying game he plays with them in the distant reaches of the Arizona desert.
If Kaylie has her way, she will be the one to stop him before any more women are killed by Cray's violent and horrifying means and methods.
