The drive-by victim is Placa Estrella, a rising young Chicana gang-banger. Placa was a toddler on the streets when Franco was just a rookie, and for her Placa’s death is personal.

Through a series of twists and turns, all of Frank’s leads eventually bring her to the disquieting possibility that the killer she seeks might well be one of own brothers in blue.
