Scarlet Moreno thought she was handling a simple cheating spouse case when her bartender friend became a murder suspect. The detective running the investigation threatens to arrest Scarlet for obstruction when she tries to share crucial information. She risks her private investigator license to clear her friend and catch the real killer, even as the arrogant Detective Alex Bishop blocks her efforts. Meanwhile, her partner Krista Hart lands what seems like a career-making assignment from a high-profile defense attorney. She must locate the only witness to a murder before trial begins the next day. The witness has disappeared, someone is tailing Krista, and her client is hiding key facts. Investigator R.J. Flynn offers to share intelligence, but his help comes with strings attached. Both women face deadly threats as they work their separate cases in Orange County, three years after a failed sting operation nearly cost them their lives as LAPD officers.
