It’s frustrating for local law enforcement to
come up against a piece of scum like Newton Glover. He’s
dirty as hell, everyone knows that—breaks into and
vandalizes his neighbors’ homes; cheats and steals from
everyone; folks suspect he deals drugs and porn. He’s even
killed a man and gotten away with it. He gets away with
all of it, hinting that he has a secret government
background and that he’s “protected” by the Powers That
Be.
Glover may finally have gone too far. He’s
suspected of kidnapping a young teenage boy to use for
child porn and a pedophile sex-ring. There’s no proof, but
this time, Albuquerque police are determined to nail
Glover to the wall.
Lee Nez, a Navajo state
police officer, and Diane Lopez, an FBI agent, go
undercover in Glover’s trailer park. Lee and Diane find
that their growing attraction for each other is heightened
by their posing as husband and wife, but do not allow that
to distract them from their mission. They soon learn that
not long ago, Glover’s neighbors tried to take the law
into their own hands—they dragged Glover from his home and
beat him to death, leaving him in a shallow grave.
To everyone’s shock, a few days later Glover
reappeared with not a mark on him. Lee and Diane are no
strangers to the supernatural—Lee is a Navajo vampire and
Diane’s last FBI partner was killed by a werewolf.
Whatever Glover is, they’ll deal with it.
When a
second child goes missing and clues link her to Glover,
Lee and Diane know they are running out of time. Glover
may be some kind of un-dead, but soon those children will
be really dead, or worse.
