During a riot at San Quentin, it's every man for himself. And then there's the soprano.

Livvy Fischer's life has become derailed. Suffering panic attacks, the classically trained opera soprano works a dead-end job.

Due partly to a mixup, partly to her crush on Pastor Lucas, Livvy joins a worship team bound for the chapel at San Quentin. But when a full-scale riot breaks out, she is separated from Lucas and the rest of her group.

Survival becomes this song-bird’s sole focus. Snatched from the chapel by an inmate, Livvy doesn’t know who to trust. Tobin says he’s protecting her, but she’s been blindsided before. She struggles to put her trust in God, while all too aware that free will can wreak horrible consequences. Tobin wants her to hide and ride out the prison storm, but Livvy becomes the obsession of another inmate who’s a serial killer. Will God protect her? Will Tobin?

And it’s one thing if Tobin is turning his life around behindbars. It’s quite another to fall for him.
