Covert agent Zachary Griffin and FBI Special Agent Sydney Fitzpatrick are sidetracked from an ongoing investigation to follow up on a potential lead. In a small Arizona border town, gunrunning and drug trafficking into Mexico are a part of the landscapebut not when theyre orchestrated by an officer in uniform. At least thats the story told to agents Griffin and Fitzpatrick.But the dirty cop is now missing, and his sister says hes innocent, a victim of a corrupt police department. She is convinced they set him up to take the fall, then killed him, and she can prove itwith help from a highly unusual witness. Suddenly an open-and-shut case seems anything but, and the clock is ticking as Griffin and Fitzpatrick take on an entire police department in a deadly match that could go up in smoke at the last second.
