Hope Frye is fifty-nine, homeless, jobless, and hopeless. She is
about to trade a dubious future for a leap from the railing of the
18th Street bridge, when a strong hand grabs her coat collar. The
hand belongs to Hank Jordan. Refusing to let Hope carry out her
intentions, he offers her a job as his live-in housekeeper. On
impulse Hope takes the job and from despair she starts a journey to
an unknown destination. On the way she puts hopelessness behind her
as her ego and self-esteem take on new life. Then violence and
bloody murder erupt in the pleasant neighborhood she now calls
home. A serial killer stalks her new friends and acquaintances and
tries to frame Hank for his crimes. Uncertainty shakes her hard won
self-confidence. Doubts and fears threaten her happiness until a
dramatic conclusion ends uncertainty, and Hope learns the
destination of her unexpected journey.
