When a corrupt lawyer, known for representing the worst criminals in the area, turns up dead right on the county line, seasoned Maksville County Sheriff Alden Rockwell loses the fight over jurisdiction to newly appointed York County Sheriff Joanne 'Jo' Porter. Unable to shake suspicions of a local mob boss, Alden follows his instincts and starts working the case instead of keeping his word to the more methodical Porter. Chasing a lead, he crosses the county line, causing hostility between them. But when another lawyer winds up dead under suspicious circumstances, the trail takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. Both sheriffs realize they must put aside their differences and work together to track down the killer.
