Synopsis

AN INTENSE AND AWKWARD DOG REHABILITATOR. A SUSPICIOUS DEADLY ACCIDENT. AN ALLURING YOUNG WIDOW.

When Maddie "Mad Girl" Whitney rescues a half-dead "bait dog," she doesn’t realize she's discovered the key to revealing vicious criminals hiding in plain sight.

Despite the sweltering summer, Maddie's problems keep snowballing. A freak accident sends her K-9 search and rescue team racing to locate the victim, but a gruesome discovery makes her question everything . . . and everyone around her.

Her partner, Sheriff Oliver Desjardins, is keeping secrets. Her flirtatious veterinarian friend is spending a suspicious amount of time with an enticing widow. A loathsome new deputy threatens her. And Maddie must work with wild and extraordinary Vixen.

Without her sister nearby, Maddie reverts to compulsive behaviors. Is she spinning out of control, or is she on the verge of learning the truth about the town's biggest mysteries?
