Traumatised by the events that took place in The Ever-Running Man, Sharon McCone decides to take an extended holiday at her ranch in California's high desert country. Though she plans to contemplate her future, McCone soon becomes distracted by a troubled yet highly secretive Native American woman.
When traces of violence at an abandoned resort lead directly back to the mysterious woman, the county sheriff's deputy handling the case asks McCone for assistance. The investigation leads McCone across the state and back to her own ranch where imminent danger lies closer than she ever expected and where her future and her life itself may hang in the balance.
Shot in the head by an unknown assailant, Sharon McCone finds herself trapped by locked-in syndrome: almost total paralysis but an alert, conscious mind. Since the late-night attack occurred at her agency's offices, the natural conclusion was that it was connected to one of the firm's cases. As Sharon lies in her hospital bed, furiously trying to break out of her body's prison and discover her attacker's identity, all the members of her agency fan out to find the reason why she was assaulted.
Meanwhile, Sharon becomes a locked-in detective, sorting through the clues her colleagues discover. As the case draws to a surprising and even shocking conclusion, Sharon's husband, Hy, must decide whether or not to surrender to his own violent past and exact fatal vengeance when the person responsible is identified.
