In the quiet suburbs, a tragedy will change the fate of one child forever… At the age of seventeen, Josephine lost her brother. His case was ruled a suicide, but she believed otherwise. Over a decade has passed since. Josephine joined the FBI and was assigned to the elite squad in San Diego, California. There she fights to unravel the truth behind her tragic past and bring justice for the innocent. When a neighborhood is rocked by an explosion. One that claimed the life of a prominent family man, Xander Montgomery. Josephine and the elite FBI squad are called to the case. At the crime scene, forensics zero in on a peculiar package. But tracing it back to the sender proves extremely difficult. The suspects number in the hundreds, and each one has an alibi. With every lead sending the team on a wild hunt. The case grows more impossible with each passing minute. And the shrapnel effect of Montgomery’s death seems to impact many lives. When a string of bombings goes off, putting the city on high alert. It seems the life for the girl in the city will never be the same.
