The cold blooded murder of California Highway Patrol Officer Sonny Tyler, in 1970, brought the small north coast community around Eureka to its knees. Humboldt County Sheriff’s Detective Sergeant Don Regan, a young rising star in the Department, attacked the case with pit bull intensity. No one was going to kill a cop in his county and get away with it.

Yet, here it was, 1987, and Sonny’s murder was still unsolved. Every clue, theory and suspect had been exhausted, and the case remained a seventeen-year dead end. Regan kept the files on his desk, obsessed over his failure to find the murderer. In fact, Sonny’s murder, and another unrelated, gang murder that same morning, remained the only unresolved blemishes in his career.

And now, he finds himself staring into the eyes of Sonny's son, Casey Tyler, now a brand new CHP Officer recently assigned to the same office from which his father was killed. Casey had just stopped the man who most believed to be the killer, and he appeared to threaten Casey with the same fate as his father.
Soon Casey and Regan re-open the cold case, and Casey quickly finds himself, and his loved ones, directly in the cross hairs of a vengeful killer.

Suddenly the 'cold' case becomes white hot, as the killer turns his wrath on Casey's family, adding personal anguish and urgency to the investigation.

Soon another murder sends the case spiraling full circle, leading to a final gut-wrenching confrontation between Casey and the killer, separated by the barrel of the biggest gun Casey ever saw.
