There he encounters Lucy Monroe, a hardened journalist with no love for Vegas and every reason to hate Angel, and Maria Villarosa, a young Tx refugee who survives by her wits and block smarts in a city that despises everything she represents. With bodies turning up, bullets traveling, and Phoenix teetering on collapse, it seems like California is making a electricity play to monopolize the life-giving move of your river. For Angel, Lucy, and Maria, time is jogging out, and their only expect survival rests in each other's hands. However when normal water is more valuable than precious metal, alliances move like sand, and the thing for certain is the fact that someone must bleed if anyone dreams to drink.
