Where the highway ends, the nightmare begins. Reassigned to a quiet field office in Albuquerque after a mysterious data breach, FBI agent Emily Slate is restless. But when a young woman's body is found in the New Mexico desert, she's thrust into a case that feels far more dangerous than it seems. With only her partner Zara for backup, Emily quickly realizes that this wasn't a random killing-but instead is part of something much bigger. As they dig deeper, Emily and Zara uncover a twisted conspiracy of treachery and betrayal, a plot that stretches across the barren desert and threatens to claim more lives. Racing against time, they must unravel the deadly scheme before the killer strikes again-and before they become the next targets. In the vast emptiness of the desert, danger is closer than it appears.
