Five years ago Wall Street attorney Claire Green's twin sister Zoe was murdered in New Orleans, in a crime that had all the hallmarks of a serial killing but was never tied to any other murders. Zoe's killer is still free. Claire is haunted by the death of her sister. She works herself to the bone and avoids her parents, who see her dead twin whenever they look at her. Before her sister's murder, Claire had a normal love life, but now she finds it difficult to trust men.

To cope with the pain of losing her twin, Claire started a victim's support group named after her dead twin. Now the group's other members have pooled together their resoruces ande started a "lottery" in which they can "win" the opportunity to have those who victimized them killed. By the time Claire learns of this conspiracy, it is too late to stop it, and the latest lottery winner is Claire, whose dead sister the group plans to avenge.

FBI agent Liam Jameson, investigating this plot, follows Claire to New Orleans. Like Claire, Liam is driven by the murder of someone he cared about long ago, and despite the fact that they are at odds, the two work together to catch the man who murdered Claire's sister, and a powerful attraction flares between them.
