The task force (which is Mason is part of) put together to solve this case is stumped. Ava’s life, thrown fully off its axis, is wrecked a little more when her twin returns.
Mason, who is an old fashioned type cop, has a hard time figuring out why these shootings are happening. Ava, a workaholic, is that much closer to falling apart. Will Mason be able to solve the case, save man lives, and keep the woman he loves from breaking down?
