Jessie Dancing works for a fictional OnStar-like service which responds to subscribers auto emergencies. She receives a call from one of her customers that is disturbing; the dialogue and noises she hears leads Jessie to believe that she an audible witness to the murder of the customer. When she reports the call to the police, the past she has been trying to hide is exposed - Jessie was tried and found not guilty of murder. However, Jessie was guilty, despite the fact that she was exonerated.

The emergency caller has links to the Arizona home town where Jessie was previously tried, and she still has enemies who are eager to prove that she was somehow involved in this new crime as well. As Jessie works to unravel the mystery of what happened during that phone call, she must also face the consequences of her past actions.
