Thirteen-year-old Duchess might be a badass, but she's really just trying to survive. Walk is the chief of police and still trying to heal the old wound of sending his best friend, Vincent King, to prison. And, he's in overdrive protecting Duchess and her brother as their mother slides deeper into self-destruction. Now, thirty years later, Vincent is being released. As soon as he steps one foot back into his childhood town, trouble arrives. It shows up on Walk's and Duchess's doorsteps, and they will be unable to do anything but usher it in, arms wide closed.
