Jess Graylon was never supposed to end up like the desperate women she'd helped as a defense attorney. Her move to Georgia-and sabbatical from work-was meant to be a healing journey that returned her to her roots after a work scandal rocked her world and halted her high-profile Dallas career. Instead, she met Bryan, a GBI agent who was fresh off his own investigation. Their shared experience quickly formed a bond that Jess didn't know she needed, and she went all in.
As Jess and Bryan were making plans for their future, Bryan's colleague, Topher, was uncovering a tangled web of drugs and murder he suspected Bryan might have a hand in. When Topher approaches Jess, they are both forced to face feelings and truths they've resisted. But before either of them can draw conclusions, Jess is forced to choose between saving the man she fell in love with and herself. Neither option involves both of them making it out alive.
