Decker is on the cusp of discovering the mastermind behind a human trafficking case, and he and his partner, Special Agent Kate Copolla, are about to get a surprising new lead from a very unlikely source.

Mallory has never told his secrets before—the danger to her and her sister has always been too great. But everyone has a limit to what they can endure.
