When Tyler Sinclair left Stone Mountain at 18 without as much as a goodbye, he had no plans of returning.

At the concert, resentment simmers just beneath the surface, and Tyler is confronted with faces new and old: his childhood best friend, now chief of police, and his star officer, an out-of-towner who may have bitten off more than she can chew.
