Upon her release from jail on what police refer to as a technicality, Jessica Mullaney, the author of A Hollywood Legend … Stalker, now infamous due to her conviction for murdering her husband and child and casting their dismembered remains into a Seabrook Island, South Carolina, marsh, returns home, where she willingly accepts her life as a pariah in the small southern city of Rock Hill, South Carolina. However, even completely renovating her old home can’t distract Jessica from her painful memories or her fears over the fate of her still missing son. Following the lead of her plucky friend, Gail, who is running from her own demons, Jessica departs for a fresh life in Los Angeles, where far more flamboyant characters seek out the spotlight and Jessica and Gail hope to settle into peaceful anonymity.

Will Wilde, not surprisingly, takes exception to Jessica’s choice of venues. He not only issues a scathing press release attesting that he believes her still to be a murderess, but also hires a private investigator to delve into Jessica’s past. Meanwhile, his brother, Rico Wilde, can’t help but be fascinated by Jessica Mullaney, particularly after eavesdropping on an amusing turned heart-wrenching conversation one night between two women who he later learns are his brother’s supposed stalker, Jessica Mullaney, and her feisty friend, Gail. However, Rico’s revelations based on his eavesdropping pale in comparison with the private investigator’s report which uncovers Jessica’s tortured childhood. The unsettling news causes Will to feel fear for the woman he sees as a threat but Rico feels compassion and divines to find out the truth about this woman, who slowly becomes his obsession.

Ultimately, Jessica’s past, present and future are due to collide, big time. The question is … who will be targeted this time and, more importantly, who will survive?
