The official reason for his death is an accidental cave-in, but Parker, with her military experience and acute senses, is skeptical. She starts to suspect foul play and embarks on a mission to learn the truth about her father's death.
Parker dives further into the inquiry and learns that her father's murder may be tied to Senator Ezekiel Swann (Anthony Michael Hall), a strong and corrupt figure who works with impunity, utilizing his position and connections to keep control.
Parker's investigation finds a labyrinth of deception and corruption that reaches the highest levels of local authority, including not just the senator but also his sons, the local sheriff and her former lover, Jesse (Mark Webber), and the hot-tempered Elvis (Jake Weary).
