Jones' sister Mary is Catlin's chief suspect, and when her first love rolls into town right before her husband turns up dead the day after the failed drug bust, Catlin knows he's on the right trail.  Sometimes, however, what we think is true, what we know is true, and what is really true don't line up. In those times it's good to have a badge, and a better partner.  Now teamed with a whip-smart female detective named Delaney, they start to hone in on a secret that many will kill to get, and still others will kill to protect.
