Held hostage for ransom and escaped twice, will Birdie be so lucky this time?

Veteran Marshal David Farris has endured his share of tragedy, and is on indefinite leave. When kidnap victim Birdie Valence needs his help, David is there for her.

After having escaped her attackers not once, but twice, Birdie isn't willing to be snatched again. Seeking refuge, she crashes a church dance. Her eyes meet David's across the room and she knows in that moment she is safe.

As much as they both vow to keep their distance, can David and Birdie keep their relationship strictly protector and victim? Or will things develop into something neither wants?
