When a notorious crime boss shows up in town, Sara enlists his help, but he has his own agenda - one that may advance his criminal enterprise. As mayhem erupts, she must outwit unsavory zealots and find the killer before her cover is blown. The clock is ticking. Can she bring the fugitive to justice before it's too late?
