Porter makes a killing tracking down missing persons. The former federal agent has the bank statements and body count to prove it.

As he retraces the girl's last known steps, Porter squares off against a disgruntled bus driver, Tampa gang leaders, and human traffickers who peddle their wares on the darkest corners of the web. Through dirty hands and bloody knuckles, Porter learns the girl may still be alive.
