DJ Sander is transitioning, as a civilian, as a cop, and from female to male. A fresh-faced rookie, he’s excited to be working in New Orleans’s French Quarter, until he discovers his brothers in blue don’t follow the rules. In fact, they break them.

Ashleigh Jorgenson’s father is DJ’s partner. Raised in a cop family, Ashleigh knows right from wrong, but the more involved she becomes with DJ, the more she starts to question everything. Bobby “Stringbean” Aiello has been a friend of the family for as long as she can remember, and despite her deepening feelings for DJ, she knows there’s no way he’s right about Bobby.

DJ suspects Bobby is guilty of a major crime and it’s up him to prove it, even when threats and attacks on his life make it mission impossible. He’s determined to get to the bottom of things and keep Ashleigh from getting hurt, but who is the real enemy? The bad guys? Or the supposed good ones?
