When the promise you made is to rescue a kidnapped little girl from human smugglers, there is a high likelihood that keeping that promise will turn deadly. --Sheriff's Deputy Zaina "Magic" Majik promised Captain Miguel Cortez that she would find his daughter. She was taken from her father by human traffickers, her captivity used to coerce him to captain a boat smuggling people into the US through North Carolina's Outer Banks. Five months later, the girl's caretaker is killed and she is left in the care of the new organization Kingpin, a young man not prepared to deal with an eight year old girl.With new information on the girl's whereabouts, Magic teams up with Grayson "Coop" Cooper - a contractor for the Dare County Sheriff's office, and her boyfriend - to locate the little girl, and bring her home. The team finds an unexpected ally in a former member of the smuggling organization. The reluctant partnership has its problems, but it is also their only hope.Coop and Magic trek all over eastern North Carolina, danger around every curve. Will they be successful and rescue the little girl? If they aren't, they will die trying.
