Deputy U.S. Marshal Charlie Harlow is committed to serving justice. It's doing it by the book that's the problem...
When a case goes wrong and a fellow law enforcement official is killed, Charlie once again finds himself in the crosshairs of the Justice Department.
The only way he knows to get his mind straight for the way things went down is to throw himself back into another case. Bringing a fugitive to justice may be just what the doctor ordered...
But when his chief deputy sends Charlie and his partner down to capture a fugitive hiding out on his girlfriend's farm, a routine case turns out to be much more than meets the eye.
Deputy Kim Riggins is taken hostage, and Charlie throws everything he can into the hunt to save her.
Soon the game of cat-and-mouse turns deadly, and Charlie must use his skills and cunning to outsmart those responsible and bring them to justice.
But Charlie rarely does anything by the book.
This time, his relentless and somewhat reckless pursuit sets him on a dangerous path. And if he can't bring the case to a close, the person he cares about most will be the one who pays the price.
