A quiet apple‑picking trip turns explosive when Alex Evercrest rescues a young couple fleeing armed pursuers on a remote country road.

An elusive clue, a black truck with twin rear tires, pulls her into a hidden network of independent criminal cells known as SLATE.

What starts as a peaceful outing becomes a nationwide manhunt.
Alex rallies her team and forges a rare alliance with the DEA and FBI,

insisting her unit leads the charge.

Together they launch daring operations across the country:

A successful take down in Ohio,

satellite‑guided tracking through Georgia’s backwoods,

an airboat vault onto a Louisiana platform in the backwaters,

and a face‑to‑face standoff inside an armed Alabama shooting range.

A capture in the Mississippi woods and a thunderous shoot out in Seattle.
Each takedown pushes Alex and her team to their limits.
Each rescue brings them closer to the the unbelievable truth.
Only at the end does the full magnitude of SLATE’s crimes emerge.

Six women saved, and far more who never had the chance.
A country road.
A peaceful apple orchard.
And a case that demanded everything Alex Evercrest and her team had to give
