An all-too-realistic thriller about for-profit prisons, big-money politics, shady non-profits, the war on drugsโand 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? Itโs true, firefighting isnโt really Jeffโs main jobโthat would be flying Humboldtโs finest weed to out-of-state customers. And sure, he isnโt really Emilyโs boyfriend, more like the guy sheโs stuck with by circumstance. Actually, his name is Danny, not Jeff, and Emilyโs real name is Michelle Mason, although no one can ever know that. Sheโs on the run from her pastโwhich 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 sheโs stuck playing Garyโs gameโand if she loses, she or someone close to her will pay the ultimate price.
