After Sheriff Bree Taggert's takedown of cold-blooded murderer Travis Ekin, his family vows revenge. Travis's mother and brothers are every bit as violent, and Bree is in their crosshairs. To complicate matters, Bree's best friend, Dana Romano, walks into her date's home and finds him shot in the chest. Dana tangles with an unidentified intruder, but he escapes through the back door. The crime scene is in another police department's jurisdiction, and the lead investigator focuses on Dana as the prime suspect. While Bree and investigator Matt Flynn work off the books to clear Dana, Bree's family receives deadly threats. A second dead body and a shocking piece of evidence link the two cases. Bree and Matt must find the killer fast--before either case takes another deadly turn.
