Synopsis

Justice wears a mask—and tonight, it’s breaking into the Whitmore estate. When Erin Brooks, ex-cop turned phantom thief, slips past the billionaire’s security, she expects a simple heist. Instead, she stumbles onto a hidden basement, a captive girl, and the man who destroyed her life—Harrison Whitmore himself. Old wounds rip open as Erin is forced to confront her own past: her sister’s unsolved murder, her own supposed ‘death,’ and a trap set just for her. With alarms blaring and a bomb ticking in her trunk, Erin must choose—save the innocent, protect the many, or finally take down the monster who ruined everything. But Whitmore’s games are just beginning. How far will Erin go for revenge, and who will pay the price when justice comes knocking?
