A mandated blood census has wreaked havoc on the United States. Only those with Western European ancestry are allowed to retain their citizenship, leaving millions to be deported, enslaved, or worse.

As dissenters to the current American regime, Rafe and Bri are branded with barcodes on their arms, monitored by voice and location devices, and are unable to leave their ghetto city. SA officers or brownsuits oversee every neighborhood with brutality, and the only information they have of the outside world comes from closed-circuit propaganda news.

To cope with these inhumane conditions, Rafe studies the Bible daily and frequently has dreams and visions. When Bri witnesses a horrific shooting by a brownsuit, they determine to accomplish the inconceivable for the sake of their unborn child and all of humanity.

An aging rap star. A competitive, contentious wife. And a deadly manhunt.

When bounty hunter Grace deHaviland is brought in to locate a cheating, conniving, financial management guru—arrested on multiple fraud and theft charges—who’s skipped out on bail, she finds she has her hands full, not only with trying to track the missing man down, but also in dealing with a street-wise rapper who’s popularity is in decline, his contentious wife and their disintegrating marriage and careers, and a desperate manhunt that might end up getting her killed.
