“I was thinking, is this how I’m gonna die?”

On the night of November 2nd, 2014, security cameras capture a disturbing sequence of events after 22 year-old Carlesha Freeland-Gaither misses her bus following a birthday party in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A strange man approaches, asking for directions– but what Carlesha doesn’t know is that this man, Delvin Barnes, is a dangerous kidnapper, rapist and killer from Virginia evading police. However, Carlesha is far smarter than Delvin anticipated, and as he continues his crimes on the run and now with her as hostage, from Germantown to Jessup, Maryland, she will leave a trail of clues for the cops to be able to finally put an end to his reign of terror.
