After suffering an unjust disgrace as an army officer, Jake Cantrell works as a campus security officer in upstate New York. Fired for the use of excessive force, Cantrell is hired by a newspaper editor to find missing college student Deborah Chapman, a gifted young jazz vocalist. Along with Bug, the 18-year-old wolf hound he saved in Afghanistan, Jake sets out on the search. Battling an enigmatic group called the Knights, Jake is set for a brutal showdown, and in this sequel to Dead Man's Bridge, it could mean Deborah's rescue, or his own demise.
