CJ is living the life she’s always wanted. She’s married to the man of her dreams, enjoying a new home in the country and a rewarding career as the assistant police chief at a private university.

Then her world turns upside down when a series of car thefts lead to the brazen murder of one of her officers. In the middle of the investigation her boss is hospitalized and CJ finds herself in charge. Putting aside her grief and guilt, she works around the clock to discover who is behind the car thefts and the killing.

Their first big break comes… and catapults CJ into the vicious world of organized crime. The wily thief outwits the trap laid for him, giving her no choice except to follow him into his own camp. Every redemption comes at a cost. Will the price be more than CJ’s willing to pay?
