Cameron Andrews of the Baltimore PD went to prison as part of a deep undercover sting. Having exposed the drug cabal in the prison, she has been released on parole. But before Cam has time to pick up the pieces of her life, the drug ring recruits her to join their operation on the outside. Since Cam and her handlers don't know who runs the drug operation, this is a welcome, if unexpected, windfall. The team leaps into action, and soon Cam is learning about the people involved, the manufacturing of the drugs, and the delivery routes. But things are perilous. Her parole officer starts asking uncomfortable questions, and her relationship with Michael is difficult because, though they are deeply committed to one another, they live in different cities. And when the ring is busted and Cam escapes capture, the suspicions of the gang leaders zero in on Cam. Can she manage to deflect suspicion and stay undercover before she ends up back in prison ... or dead?

Out and Beyond

That was also how she’d met Michael. Michael, as Michelle Gauchet chose to be known, was hired to hone Cam’s martial arts skills. She was the head M.A. instructor for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and was well on her way to expanding her training schools and techniques nationwide across Canada.


Cam’s first assignment was to find out how cocaine was being funneled through a women’s prison. They’d discussed plan after plan until Cam decided, or maybe they had manipulated her into deciding, that the safest way would be for her, as Cameron Andrews, to break the law and be sentenced to a prison term. That way it would be listed in police reports and court records that she was in prison because she was a felon and no one could suspect she was a plant. It would be extremely dangerous if anyone found out she was actually undercover: one agent had been killed, another would spend the rest of her short life staring into space in a mental facility.
