Abstract

Getaway follows a young Afghanistan War veteran Laurie E. who has returned to civilian life, restless and haunted by her time in combat. When police connect her mother’s sudden death to phone scammers in Jamaica, where her estranged sister has also been living, Laurie travels to the island seeking answers. There, again fighting on foreign ground, she must face her own failures on the frontlines and at home, to find her sister and stop a team of murderous scammers. Ultimately, she discovers her true self—and how to truly trust and love others.
