When a State Police officer is murdered on his own front porch, the governor asks for the Pennsylvania Department of Investigation to take the case. The ensuing inquiry ties the murder to a group of drug-dealing kids in a small Pennsylvania town, and Jordan Bell goes undercover as a high school student to infiltrate the gang. In the meantime, Jordan is pulled deeper into an FBI investigation of a huge crime syndicate and becomes involved in a human trafficking operation tucked away in rural West Virginia. Jordan finds himself pivoting from the hills of Pennsylvania to the hills of West Virginia as he attempts to uncover the truth, a quest that puts him in danger on more than one front.
