In a sultry California city on the Mexican border, a
brutal crime pushes a struggling young mother and an
idealistic cop to the edge of passion—and beyond.
To support her small daughter, April Ortiz does what she
has to do—which means waiting tables in a skimpy outfit at
a popular nightclub in a gang-infested area of Chula
Vista. When one of her co-workers is raped and murdered,
April does what she knows she shouldn’t—she defies the
neighborhood code by giving the police a hardcore gang
member’s name.
Clean-cut cop Noah Young wants a shot at breaking this
case more than anything in the world—that is, until he
meets the unforgettable April Ortiz. When April gives Noah
the tip, a spark ignites. As the fire between them
threatens to blaze out of control, the two are dragged
down further into the dark mysteries of the graffiti-lined
streets, taunted by a crazed killer who could strike again
at any time.
