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

Three cups of coffee and a bathroom break later, Cam heard, “Harvard! There you are! I thought I’d never catch up with you.”


Cam looked up in time for a woman to throw her arms around her and lean in to give her a kiss on the cheek.


“I’m Erika,” the woman whispered as she hugged Cam. “Anything I should know?”


“I’ve been hanging out waiting for you. The waitress said that there was a big drug bust here today.”


“Damn,” Erika said as she slipped into the bench across from Cam. “You mean I missed it?”


“It seems so,” was Cam’s reply. She smiled at Erika. This woman picked up cues very well. She fell right into the role naturally.


“I should have driven faster.” Erika smiled.


Cam smiled back at her. “That’s okay. I missed it, too.”


Rose was immediately there with a mug and a coffee pot. She set the mug in front of Erika and filled it.
