Jessie Baltimore has one job this weekend—drive her sons across the Mojave Desert to visit their grandparents. But when a flash drive is mistakenly slipped into her teenage son’s laptop during a routine repair, the trip becomes anything but ordinary.
The drive contains sensitive information, and powerful men will do whatever it takes to get it back. As Jessie senses they’re being watched, instincts and training she thought she’d left behind surge to the surface. She must confront a past she’s buried and the secrets she’s kept.
Now Jessie has no choice but to outrun her pursuers across a desolate highway and protect her family, as her carefully constructed suburban life shatters.
When Jessie Baltimore goes undercover as a substitute teacher at her son’s high school to investigate a missing girl, she uncovers more than hallway gossip. The same flash drive that nearly got her killed now points to a trafficking ring operating in plain sight—woven into everyday routines and quiet suburban neighborhoods.
As she closes in on a faculty member with ties to the network, Jessie’s carefully rebuilt life begins to fracture. Her cover is slipping. The threats are closing in. And each clue pulls her deeper into a past she swore she’d left behind.
Now she must decide how far she’s willing to go to save someone else’s child—without losing her own.
