Gwen Kane swore she was done killing.
Then someone locked a little girl inside a burning building. For the first time in her life, Gwen has something that's hers. A café in Black Pines with her name on the deed. A man who'd hand her the world if she'd let him. A best friend and a little girl who are the closest thing to family she's ever had. Then Simone's salon goes up in flames. Simone lies bleeding in the alley. Junie is asleep inside, behind a back door someone latched shut. Gwen gets her out alive, but not unhurt. The police call it an accident. A candle too close to the curtains. Gwen calls it Angela, a grieving mother convinced Simone made her son disappear. Simone didn't. Gwen did. Sebastian says killing is too quick. That there are better ways to make someone pay. But the law has already failed them, and Angela isn't finished. A new family hiding at the ranch from a father who shot a man in front of his kids. FBI agents at the gate who won't say what he's mixed up in. A haven that suddenly isn't. Gwen has killed before, for women who couldn't fight back. Angela is giving her every reason to do it again. Narrated in duet style.
