An officer is shot point blank in the police station lobby and sheriff Jeffrey Tolliver is wounded, setting off a terrifying hostage situation with medical examiner Sara Linton at the center. It’s up to Lena Adams and Frank.

Going back and forth between present and past, the narrative takes place in two time frames: present and ten years prior to the shooting. The “present” narration evolves over several hours; the “past” takes place over the course of a week.

Lena will primarily get the present narration, working outside the station with Frank trying to figure out who the shooter is and how to resolve the hostage situation. Inside the station, Jeffrey has not been fatally wounded, but Sara knows he could easily die if the bleeding is not stopped. He drifts in and out of consciousness and through Sara and Jeffrey we get the past, and the case that leads up to the present day shooting.
