When a terror campaign goes awry
A cop, a foster mom and a canine protector are on the case
Foster mom Stella Smith and Officer Joe Carpenter’s makeshift family unit is threatened with the arrival of two new vulnerable foster boys and a terror campaign waged by the boys’ biological mother’s violent boyfriend. When threats and extortion fail, the culprit resorts to kidnapping at gunpoint, leaving Stella injured and the kids fighting for survival. It will take a fearless cop—and a fiercely loyal canine—to face down a monster and bring the children home alive.
