One Kiss. Seven Minutes. A Perfect Crime.
At Jimmy Ray's Place karaoke bar, Erin Carter makes one drunken mistake, a kiss in the bathroom with bartender Alicia Biggs. It's a moment she forgets almost immediately. But Alicia never forgets.
When Erin vanishes that night, the evidence seems damning. Security footage shows her husband Ryan forcefully grabbing her arm, desperately trying to drag her away. The police are certain they know who took her. Ryan becomes their prime suspect.
But something doesn't add up.
Facing the prospect of murder charges, Ryan hires elite defense attorney Kimberly Files. She assigns her investigator Herschel Harrison, a man who knows what it's like to be falsely accused, to dig deeper. As they uncover contradictions in witness statements, a missing Uber ride, and anomalies in the security footage, the truth begins to emerge. Hidden in the gaps of a seven-minute camera malfunction is the evidence that will unravel everything: a single frame showing who really took Erin.
But the revelation comes too late. In Alicia's basement, Erin has been enduring unimaginable horrors at the hands of a woman who genuinely believes their single kiss was destiny, proof that they're meant to be together.
When police finally raid Alicia's house, they discover she's not just a bartender with an obsession. She's Alicia Bowman, a serial predator wanted for murder in Mississippi. And in her delusional mind, she and Erin are already in love.
A psychological thriller about how predators hide in plain sight, how one mistake can change everything, and how the line between normalcy and evil is terrifyingly thin.
