Joella Soriano and Brendan Kirkpatrick have been living a blissful life together since their engagement a year ago. They have flourished in the months after tragedy nearly took Joella’s life in the line of duty. Very much in love, they are planning a June wedding and juggling their hectic jobs.
Brendan, a savvy businessman, is coerced by his younger brother Connor into purchasing a casino that is in disrepair. It seems like a good business opportunity, until the owner of the casino turns up dead – murdered in cold blood. Joella, who is a lead detective with the Boston PD, receives a call to report to the murder scene the very morning that Brendan is scheduled to meet with investors and bankers. The wife of the deceased businessman begins pointing fingers at none other than Brendan and Connor Kirkpatrick. It is Joella’s difficult task to determine who the real murderer is and the motive for the crime, in order to get Brendan and Connor off the hook.
Don’t expect smooth sailing in the Kirkpatrick home, either. With Joella working hard on the case with rookie cop, Chase Wilson, Brendan becomes jealous. Don’t expect him to hide the fact that this bothers him either. To make matters worse, Brendan begins receiving calls from his ex-wife Jessica who claims to still be in love with him. Jessica wants Brendan back and will not take no for an answer. Joella doesn’t take well to Jessica’s advances and is not pleased that his ex is trying to cause a rift between her and Brendan.
Can Joella and Brendan’s relationship survive the obstacles ahead? As the plot thickens, and more people are murdered, Joella and Brendan realize that there is more than just their relationship at stake – their own lives are in danger. If the forces at work have their way, there might not be a wedding after all.
