Political activist Luz Montoya has made a lot of
high-profile enemies in Houston, Texas, including members of
the
Houston Police Department. She is mugged and severely
beaten before being rescued by a good samaritan in a
grocery store parking lot. Grant Holcomb, the detective
initially assigned to her case, has a personal grudge
against Luz. She exposed Grant's ex-partner, John Zeman,
as corrupt and sadistic; Zeman was released from HPD, and
subsequently committed suicide. Luz demands, and gets,
Grant's removal from her investigation.
For some reason Grant can't let go of Luz's case, and even
though it might cost him his job, he continues to work
behind the scenes. After finding harrowing and gruesome
sights in her apartment upon her release from the hospital,
Luz is happy to have Grant's protection. Grant is also
there when the first of many threatening calls begin.
Soon his life is as much in danger as the beautiful Latina
he is beginning to care for too much.
