Authorities in Blue Mesa have been waging war against drug traffickers who use 'mules' to carry the dope and cash across the Canadian border. And murder gets thrown into the equation when sheriff Nicole Cobain is called to the lake to assist Border Patrol, but finds their boat adrift and a dead man on the ice. Then, another murder victim turns up - the brother of Frank, a Border Patrol agent who's been trying to root out bad agents. As the bodies pile up, Nicole and Frank begin to feel that they're the only good guys on the scene - and on the brink of a terrible discovery that could shake the community to its core.
