Summary
Newly settled into Jackson City, you’re assigned to patrol duty with Joel Miller; a man of rough edges and a cold facade. What begins as forced proximity slowly shifts into something raw and all-consuming.
But as the past creeps forward through old wounds and the ever-present threat of the world outside Jackson's walls, your feelings for one another become both a sanctuary and a liability.
In a world already broken, where there is already so much to lose, can you let yourself love Joel Miller?
