The governor of Florida has a mission for himone that is sure to interrupt his now quiet life.

Con and his unlikely partners try to track down answers without getting tangled in a web of corrupt politicians and their thugs. Things get personal when two women in Cons life become caught in the crosshairs of deadly threats from people who dont want to be found. With their lives on the line, he has to ask himself how far hes willing to go to bring it all to an end.
