Detective Jimmy Vega has his hands full when the disappearance of a teenage girl in upstate New York sets off a powder keg of accusations, bigotry and fear--with deadly results. A blond, blue-eyed high school girl walks out of an English class she tutors for immigrants and vanishes. Suspicion falls on the men she was teaching, many of whom are undocumented. As news spreads beyond Lake Holly, New York, it fans the flames of cultural tensions. County police detective Jimmy Vega's girlfriend, attorney Adele Figueroa, heads the immigrant center where the teen volunteer disappeared. If Vega can't clear Adele's clients, the place may be forced to shut its doors. But he is reassigned to a grunt detail working for the new county supervisor. Someone wants to destroy Vega's career-- and placed Vega and his family in the killer's cross-hairs.
