With only two weeks until her likely death, Lynell sets out to uncover what stranger would want her dead and why.

The book is set to release on September 27 and will be Madison Lawson's debut novel. The official book synopsis, per Lawson's website, reads:

"You can’t outrun the Registration. Imagine it’s legal to commit one murder in your lifetime? If you Register the victim and accomplish the kill within fourteen days. So when Lynell Mize stands in line to Register the man who abused her as a child, she’s shocked to hear a stranger Register her to be killed.

Along with starring in the film, Sweeney will produce through her Fifty-Fifty Films banner, with Brad Fuller (A Quiet Place, The Purge) producing through his company Fuller Media Brand.
