When Santa Cruz county deputy sheriff Jose Reyes, Ali Reynolds classmate from the Arizona Police Academy, is gunned down and left to die, he is at first assumed to be an innocent victim of the drug wars escalating across the border. But the crime scene investigation shows there's much more to it, and soon Reyes and his pregnant wife are both under suspicion of wrong-doing. Ali Reynolds owes Jose Reyes a debt of gratitude, and when she's summoned to his hospital bedside, it's impossible for her to turn away. Ali finds her good friend, Sister Anselm, working as a patient advocate on behalf of another seriously injured victim.
