In the sweltering heat of Cochise County, Arizona, a woman is found dead in her trailer, a bullet hole in her chest. The local police are left grappling with the murder of a harmless loner known for her love of stray dogs, especially when the weapon used is an eighty-five-year-old bullet linked to the brutal killings of two other women, discovered bound and posed on a rancher's land. Sheriff Joanna Brady faces mounting pressure as she juggles a brutal reelection campaign and personal challenges at home. With the threat of a serial killer looming over her jurisdiction, Joanna must push aside marital distractions and dirty tricks from her opponent. The oppressive heat mirrors the escalating tension as fear and hatred boil over in this small desert community. As she investigates the twisted drama unfolding around her, Joanna delves into a family's dark history, seeking to uncover the roots of a monstrous obsession. The stakes are high, and the reality of a sadistic murderer lurking in the shadows forces her to confront not just a crime, but the permanent wounds it leaves behind—wounds that run deeper than homicide itself.
