When Florida couple James and Bethany Fenner discover they have won the $161-million state lottery, they must make the three-hour drive from Jacksonville to the state capital, Tallahassee to collect. Fearful that someone might rob them of the winning ticket, they tell no one and hire 29-year-old limousine driver, Riley Lake, to chauffeur them in style. But Lake harbors a secret that he’s hidden since his childhood; a secret that will soon be exposed. As Jacksonville Detective Kay Larsen investigates a series of gruesome murders where the female victims overdose from a powerful hallucinogen, the clues begin to mount against Riley Lake. Only when Larsen digs deeper into Riley Lake’s past will a disturbing question arise: Who is the hunter and who is the prey?
