Summary

Usually when we think about the possibility of an intruder entering our home with the intention of bringing us harm, we think of a stranger. Someone we don't know. But what happens when the intruder is someone from within? In the picturesque neighbourhood of Carrollwood, Florida, Vicki Robinson finds herself caught in what became every parent's worst nightmare.
