It pales in comparison when she's pursued and terrorized by a Miami drug cartel looking for incriminating evidence they believe her boyfriend, Tim Madison left with her.The stranger isn't random, either. Brian Swift is Tim's half-brother and a homicide detective on suspension, accused of taking bribes. He's frequently in hot water for protecting Tim and using investigation methods that walk a fine line between what's legal and what isn't, but even his talents are put to the test when Tim goes missing. Brian not only has to take Kaylen as an unlikely partner, but he also embarks on a hell-bent trip down memory lane to follow convoluted clues left by his brother. The trail leads him on a journey that could cost him his life.
