This is the long-awaited prequel to the series, the origin story of the McCall-Malone partnership! Portland PI Clint McCall runs into-and up against-Portland Police Detective Sergeant Devon Malone as they race to find a kidnapped young girl who may be in the hands of a killer.

And that's just the beginning of McCall's troubles, since his ex-wife has reappeared after an absence of years, apparently with a killer on her tail as well! Who will die and who will survive? And why would Malone ever speak to McCall again?
