Maisie Jane Beck is a thief. Stealing is her way of righting the wrongs done to her by a society and system that has always let her down. Stealing is the only way she can feel powerful in a world that has left her so victimized that she's lost the ability to cry.

But as Maisie commits her petty thefts, someone is watching, someone who knows the sad, sordid story of her life and is convinced he alone can save her, whether she wants it or not. Someone who is about to turn the tables by stealing her.

This stranger has history of his own, but he will guard it as carefully as he guards Maisie in the cell he's built just for her.

Here she will learn only what the stranger wants her to know.

Here she will learn how he plans to rehabilitate her.

Here Maisie will learn that he intends to make her feel again. What she won't immediately learn is the secret that binds them together - the secret that may eventually destroy them both.
