"A good cop never goes Past The Line in pursuit of truth and justice."
But when Miami Police Detective Blake Cutter's wife is blown up in a Mafia-planted car bomb intended for him, revenge will take him past the line. As obsession with tracking his wife's killer jeopardizes the investigation, he is transferred to a rehabilitative assignment with an FBI field office in a small Georgia town. His investigation of the suspicious drowning of real estate investor Phillip Drummond leads him into a tangled web of intrigue and deceit. Within days, the drowning turns into a homicide investigation with multiple suspects. One of the suspects, a mysterious woman who happens to be the spitting image of his late wife, becomes the only link between Drummond and the Mafia head responsible for his wife's death. Keeping her safe from both the mob and prosecution is his only chance to bring his wife's killer to justice. To save her, he must risk his career and take down the mafia organization. It's a desperate race against time. He has less than forty-eight hours before the case is commandeered by a federal agent with a hidden agenda.
