Two retired police officers step back into their old roles after one of the former officers learns of his son's arrest over a drug charge—leaving both men on the search for the truth.

“He said if he hadn’t heard from you by high noon today, he was going to strap on his six-guns and ride back into town. So I think you should call him, Charlie. Call him before you come home.”

Charlie Hills, former desk sergeant at Kings Lake Central, is in trouble. He hasn’t told DC Smith, his old friend and sparring partner, but someone has, and now the two former policemen are about to embark on a difficult and potentially dangerous search for the truth. For one of them, it could be life-changing.
