With the shake-up at the OIO, Alexis Parker is assigned to assist the DEA on a long-term undercover operation across the country. Being away from home might be just what Alex needs to regain some perspective, especially when Martin's been so distant lately. But this assignment might be more than either of them bargained for since the death toll continues to rise while hard evidence remains zilch.

After being transplanted across the country and given a cover identity that makes Alex appear to be more of a loner than she actually is, she is recruited by a nearby cult leader. He has a history with drugs and has been accused of sexual abuse, so being forced to live at the commune isn't exactly a walk in the park. Luckily, Alex's DEA counterpart, Agent Jackson Decker, is a seasoned undercover operative more than willing to watch her back, even if she questions his ability to conduct a proper investigation. After all, Decker's been under for eight months with hardly any evidence to show for it. However, the growing number of former cult members turning into dead drug mules indicates that something sinister is brewing.

Parker and Decker need to find enough proof to shut down the cult, put an end to the drug trafficking, and make sure the self-proclaimed religious leader pays for his sins. But could they be wrong about what happens inside the hallowed halls of the commune?
