Two weeks after burying her father Neil, Zahila
Richardson returns to the small rural town of Salem, Tennessee, having shunned
the peaceful community in her youth. She's welcomed back with open arms nevertheless,
but this homecoming hides the true purpose of her return.
Zahila’s beloved father was murdered. She’s come back determined to search for a
killer among her father's closet friends. But Zahilia is finding it hard not to
show her hand. In order to uncover clues to a murderer, she must reacquaint
herself with childhood friends she lost contact with for nearly twenty years, all with secrets of their own.
The dark,
charismatic Grant Toussaint is one of those friends as well as her first lover. He returned to the quiet town three years ago, to hid from his own dark past.
It doesn't take long before Grant becomes acutely aware that Zahila’s life is in mortal
danger. He plans to stick close to the woman of his dreams to protect her at
any cost, even if he has to reveal his own deep dark secrets. The Office of
Strategic Affairs special agents Quick and Reese are on the hunt for the dreaded
Cerberus, a dangerous psychic with the cognitive ability of a God to tap into the collective consciousness of
humanity and control both races with just a single thought. This type of
psychic hasn't been seen in over two thousand years, not since Abraham himself
was alive.
The seasoned agents must bring in OSA’s most
wanted criminal. The former highly
trained ex-operative and powerful rogue Grant Toussaint, before he can do any
harm on the unsuspecting mundane public.
If they can. When a
much-loved member of Selma’s community suddenly disappears just as a Mining
company begins negotiations with the town to reopen the abandon mines and rejuvenate
the ailing town’s economy. Things start to get complicated for the investigating
duo, Zahila and Grant.
The Sheriff is suspicious of the sudden influx of newcomers
into woodland haven. But after a second person disappears, this
time presumed dead, tensions in the small town escalate.
With pressure mounting,
Zahila and Grant must dodge OSA agents, the Sheriff, and old school mate’s invitations for lunch,
to find a killer before he kills again.
If they fail, it just might cost Zahila
her life.
