An all-too-realistic thriller about for-profit prisons, big-money politics, shady non-profits, the war on drugsâ€”and the people who would kill to keep the system intact

Emily runs a successful bistro in Humboldt County, California, where she lives with her boyfriend, Jeff, a volunteer firefighter. A lot of her best customers are in the cannabis business, but so what? Itâ€™s true, firefighting isnâ€™t really Jeffâ€™s main jobâ€”that would be flying Humboldtâ€™s finest weed to out-of-state customers. And sure, he isnâ€™t really Emilyâ€™s boyfriend, more like the guy sheâ€™s stuck with by circumstance. Actually, his name is Danny, not Jeff, and Emilyâ€™s real name is Michelle Mason, although no one can ever know that. Sheâ€™s on the run from her pastâ€”which has just caught up with her. Gary, an ex-CIA agent who got her and Danny into this whole mess, has just shown up in Humboldt County. Michelle should have killed him when she had the chance, but now sheâ€™s stuck playing Garyâ€™s gameâ€”and if she loses, she or someone close to her will pay the ultimate price.
