One City...Countless Stories. Detective Carter Fiske has a homeless man’s death to investigate.

When she discovers his subterfuge, she does not want anything more to do with him, having trust issues after her ex-husband left her high and dry. Carter has his work cut out for him to prove that he is the man for her and her daughter. But danger lurks close by and as they work together to find out where the drugs are coming from, can Carter keep Tara safe?
