Drugs. Sex. Murder. And, if they can squeeze it in, graduation.
When Auggie Lopez returns to Wahredua for his senior year of college, he's excited about the future: he's growing his brand as an influencer, he's almost done with school, and he's building a life with his boyfriend, Theo. Then Auggie gets a phone call from Howard Cartwright, Theo's ex—and Cart tells Auggie he's being framed for murder.
As Auggie and Theo begin to look into the death of a local parole officer, they realize something isn't right. A gang of armed men almost catches them while they're searching the victim's home, a threatening message spray-painted on the victim's home suggests a personal vendetta, and everyone wants to know about a missing cache of money. The trail leads Auggie and Theo into the dangerous world of the Ozark Volunteers—the local white supremacists who control the region's drug trade.
After Theo and Auggie are attacked at home, they learn that the stakes might be much, much higher: someone is determined to put a stop to their investigation, no matter what it takes. And the killer, Theo and Auggie suspect, is hiding behind a badge.
