She has finally found security in a man who loves her. But revenge and the violent opioid crisis overwhelm the community and force them to question who they are, and who they are together. Corrupt local politicians believe Joe is neither a vigilante hero nor the Avenging Angel. As he struggles to live with his blackmail power, they force him to struggle for his very life.

From the Back Cover

Joe Lehrer learns the hard way that fighting corruption is painful even if you're on the side of the angels. To feed his fantasy of wreaking vengeance on the crime boss, he must become a criminal. That's effective, but doesn't protect him from the physical or emotional pain that threaten his career, his friends and his love for Lexan Warner.

Lexan confronts violence as she contends with the opioid crisis killing her students and ravaging suburban Stradford. She battles inner turmoil as well; she must face up to the secrets of her troubled past or they will consume her.

This violent culture shatters their relationship. Love will only flourish for Joe and Lexan if they can find a way to fight it together and survive.
