In the wake of a White House aide's wife being found beaten to death, with their one year-old daughter taken, Police Lieutenant Sam Holland is put in charge of the case—and forced to collaborate with Special Victims Unit detectives, as well as thorn-in-her-side FBI Special Agent Avery Hill. Then, a cold case of her father's resurrects old hurts—a distraction Sam cannot afford. As Sam's investigation heats up, so does Nick's political career—and the heat carries over to their bedroom. Will Sam put the pieces together in time to catch a killer and find the baby, or will ambition, greed, and lies prove fatal?
