Sometimes you're lighting a cigarette, and sometimes you're lighting a fuse ... A sinister shadow descends on Port City, Texas, and private detectives Markus Jackson and Ashley Garcia are on the case. Meanwhile Jett Landry, Jackson's daughter, takes on bullies at Port City High. Are they fighting the same war?
Jett Landry is not your typical teenage girl. She's a loner, an overachiever, and she's obsessed with martial arts. The only mixed-race kid at Port City High, she's the target of bullies who want her out of their school. The administration, meanwhile, blames Jett for the problem. Local politician and Markus Jackson's bitter rival, Mike Krayton, keeps pouring fuel on the fire, using his influence to portray Jett as an angry problem-child.
Meanwhile, Markus Jackson has problems of his own. He's on the trail of something big, and all hell is about to break loose. People are angry, turning on each other, and the powers that be are exploiting the rifts to tear the city apart. Corruption is on the rise and violent white supremacist gangs are moving into the city. Markus Jackson and Ashley Garcia know the truth about what's happening, but they can't prove it yet. If they find the proof in time, they can save the day. If they can't, everything changes, and not just in Port City.
But Markus Jackson loves his daughter, and he'll do anything to protect her. This leads to a gut-wrenching dilemma, and the consequences of his choice could change the course of history ...
