Based on the horrific true story of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting where police surrounded the scene but refused to enter, this story takes a fictional spin asking a very hard-hitting and philosophical question: as a parent, how far would you go to keep your child safe?

Most would die for their child. But would you KILL for them? If police officers, the very lawmen entrusted to protect, refused to act, would you step in and do the unthinkable?

This book asks that question, and many more. At its heart is Derek Jackson, a haunted war veteran and recovering alcoholic whose relationship with his teenage daughter Jade is brittle but rebuilding. When Jade becomes the target of a disturbed classmate and the system turns a blind eye, Derek is forced to confront not just his past, but a new reality in which justice, safety, and morality are far more complicated than right and wrong. Gritty, emotional, and unflinching, this novel explores how far a parent will go when their child is in danger.
