  Adam Turner works the lonely mid-dawn shift at his local radio station. From midnight to 6 a.m., he fills the quiet hours with old tunes, aimless chatter, and calls from the occasional night owl. It’s a far cry from his glory days a decade ago, when his voice was on prime-time radio and his name lit up billboards. Now, it’s just him, an empty studio, and a few listeners—drunk students heading home or truck drivers on long hauls.   
  At 12:45 a.m. one night, the routine shatters. The caller’s voice is cold, the stakes chilling: “Stay live on air until dawn, or this woman dies.”   
  For the rest of the night, Adam is trapped in a dangerous game. The caller’s questions cut deep, forcing him to confront his fall from grace and air his secrets for all to hear. As the hours drag on, Adam races to uncover who’s behind the call and what they really want, all while staying on the line to keep a stranger alive.   
  But when the truths get darker and the demands more personal, Adam faces an impossible choice: How much of himself will he sacrifice to save someone he’s never met?

  Eric Logan had just turned 16 and was looking forward to an exciting summer. Sitting in his secret spot near Lake Tranquility in the town of Eagle, Wyoming, Eric was making plans of adventure. Until an older boy spoke to Eric. He was tall, and had dirty hair hanging to his shoulders, yellow teeth and knew Eric’s nickname, Runner. He said his name was DeSade and Eric and nine other boys were going to be members of his gang, the Under My Thumb gang. Then DeSade showed Eric pictures, terrible pictures of his family. He knew then he would join the gang and do whatever DeSade ordered. But the scariest thing was, DeSade was tossing between his hands a human thumb, and Eric Logan knew all his plans for the summer had vanished. 
   
  Twenty years later, Logan is a Detective with the Eagle Police Department. He is called out to an unusual homicide. Big Joe, the town drunk had been found with his throat slit and the thumb on his left hand cut off. Logan remembers Big Joe had been one of the gang so long ago. Once a second body is found, killed the exact same way, and also a former gang member, Logan knows the murders are connected to his old gang. 
   
  Logan knows the killer could not possibly be DeSade, but then who could it be? Revealing anything about the old gang might lose Logan his job, or worse, put him in prison. Logan walks a fine line between trying to catch the killer, warning the other members of the gang and revealing the truth. The body count climbs and Logan is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
