One dead woman.
A missing child.
The diabolic father who will do anything to get his son back.
The female cop who risks everything to keep the boy safe.
Crescendo—Redemption with a bullet
As the only female Native American officer on the Bryson City, North Carolina police force, Inola Walela must always play her A game. All bets are off when during a routine traffic stop the passenger insists her son has been kidnapped but is struck by a car before Inola can glean any hard facts. An altercation ensues and Inola's partner is felled by a bullet—possibly from her gun. On administrative leave, fraught with guilt for allegedly killing her partner, and obsessed with the possibility of a missing child out there somewhere, she defies the force and her fianc├®, Sheriff Steven Hawk. Inola sets off on her own journey to find the missing boy.

“The character Inola [is] a Native
American cop who is constantly having to prove herself to her police department
colleagues in the relatively backwoods town of the Bryson City, North Carolina.
In spite of her stubborn nature, her inability to communicate with those she
truly loves (Steven and her grandmother, Elisi), and her insistence on going
out on her own despite obvious dangers that threaten—you can’t help but love
her. Tough, focused, and smart, she’s everything you’d want in a heroine.”
