Texas Ranger Darren Mathews has handed in his badge, and his own mother is the cause of his fall from grace. Yet she may also be his salvation. A black girl at a nearby college is missing, her belongings tossed in a dumpster. A bloodstained shirt discovered in a woodland clearing may be the last trace of her, and Darren's mother wants him to work the case.
Disillusioned by an America forever changed by the presidency of Donald Trump, Darren reluctantly agrees. Yet as he sets out to find the girl, it is his own family's history that may be brought painfully into the light.
