An all-too-realistic thriller about for-profit prisons, big-money politics, shady non-profits, the war on drugsβand 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? Itβs true, firefighting isnβt really Jeffβs main jobβthat would be flying Humboldtβs finest weed to out-of-state customers. And sure, he isnβt really Emilyβs boyfriend, more like the guy sheβs stuck with by circumstance. Actually, his name is Danny, not Jeff, and Emilyβs real name is Michelle Mason, although no one can ever know that. Sheβs on the run from her pastβwhich 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 sheβs stuck playing Garyβs gameβand if she loses, she or someone close to her will pay the ultimate price.
