The more Vic digs, the more Fort Worth's polished storefronts peel back to show the rot underneath.
The Callahan family-Janelle, her erratic brother Clay, and their mentally fading patriarch-are at the center of decades of buried corruption: rigged land deals, bribery, arson, blackmail, and political payoffs dating back generations. Maddox wasn't just involved-he was profiting off it, extorting them, threatening to expose the entire network, and maneuvering to secure a personal fortune.
Someone silenced him.
Vic's team-Keisha Morgan, tech wizard Marcus Blakely, lab genius Tessa Cho, and old-timer Deano Griffin-begin pulling on the threads. Every pull shakes loose a bigger truth: half the city's power structure is compromised. Council members, developers, judges, cops-names stretching back decades. Maddox had all of it in a secret file, and that file becomes the most dangerous object in the city.
As Vic's people get closer, the city hits back. Tessa gets jumped in a parking garage. Witnesses vanish. Evidence is planted on the Callahans. Old allies turn shady. Everyone wants the same thing: the file and the silence of anyone who read it.
Vic keeps pushing anyway.
By the time they find Clay Callahan, battered and half-running, half-giving up, he lays out what nobody's wanted to say out loud: Fort Worth is built on corruption, and the people in power would rather let the city burn than let the truth come out.
A storm rolls over the city-literal and political-as Vic and the team prepare for the inevitable blowback. The Chisholm Cross murder isn't just a killing. It's the spark for a reckoning that's been waiting thirty years to detonate.
