Rookie policewoman Valorie Dawes has a mission: take serial child molesters like Richard Harkins off the streets of her small hometown of Clayton, CTfor good.
Things start off well as Val's trusted senior partner and mentor, Gil, shows her the ropes and helps her survive the nastiness they encounter on the streetsand in the chauvinistic office politics at the precinct.
Despite Gil's support, Val becomes increasingly isolated within the department and vilified in the public eye as reckless and incompetent. In response, she devotes all of her time and energy to chasing Harkins, but he proves to be both elusive and cruel, continuing to victimize young girls and pressing his threats closer and closer to Val's own inner circle.
Can Valorie overcome the trauma she suffered as a child and stop Harkins from hurting others like heror will her bottled-up anger lead her to take reckless risks that put the people she loves in greater danger?
