“Do you think this is a game?”--
On July 25th, 2016 Aundreah Maes has just finished her shift at the mall in Salem Oregon, when a man armed with a handgun forces his way into her car and tells her to start driving. This man, a cop-in-training named Edwin Lara, is wanted for the disappearance of a young woman, Kaylee Sawyer, in Bend Oregon and is now on the run, killing and car-jacking anyone in his way. The only person able to stop him is the one he expects the least: his own hostage, 19-year-old Aundreah Maes.
