Working undercover with her partner to find the serial killer who's kidnapped a colleague's daughter, Cee Cee is caught between her job and her fiercely possessive lover. And when she calls on Max's preternatural talents to aid his hated enemy, she crosses a line that strains their relationship to its limit. With his secret spreading, Max is forced to protect his family and his clan.
