In RETRIBUTION, a Miami prosecutor is caught in a cat and mouse game with a serial killer who raped her and left her for dead twelve years before. Haunted by personal demons, she must outgrow her vulnerability, for it is her duty to bring him to justice. In doing so, she must follow every hideous clue that he leaves and must exercise a single-minded determination to survive their encounters. At the same time, she wants to get even - but can she do so and stay within the law?
