Living alone within a labyrinth of secret identities, shell companies, and a network of businesses legal and illicit – making monthly use of the Silk Road 2.0 – Thalma's only companion is her trustworthy Rottweiler, Socrates.
But a chance meeting with a young man running from the law and an ill-fated attempt to collect on a debt rip apart her newfound normalcy and plunge her into a terrible struggle to save her new love and herself.
