Jefferson, with his complex blend of charisma and secrecy, becomes Lorna’s ally and a source of conflict as the investigation forces them to confront the remnants of their past relationship while trying to keep Lorna alive.
What Lorna uncovers moves her closer to the heart of a dark conspiracy as she navigates through layers of conspiracy. Every decision is as dangerous personally as it is professionally. Set against a backdrop of urban danger, her journey explores what it means to risk everything for love and truth.
