On Valentine’s Day, 2020, cops respond to a 1 a.m. call in the Hollywood Hills, where they discover 38-year-old family therapist Amie Harwick fighting for her life, and her roommate Michael Herman, with blood on his hands.

What cops don’t know is that the man they have in custody is telling the truth, and that the real attacker is still out there. But, Amie’s best friend, Robert Coshland, is on the case: he’s determined to take down the man who’s been stalking Amie for years, & finally get justice.
