When cousin Donald dives headfirst into the Upper Hutt mayoral race, Veronica “Ronnie” Tracey finds herself tangled in political drama she never signed up for. A sinister threat aimed at Donald’s campaign drags her into the mess, and just to make life more complicated, an overzealous FBI agent from the new Wellington office is sniffing around the mysterious disappearance of Jonathon Tierney. Ronnie doesn’t like the agent, doesn’t trust the timing, and definitely doesn’t appreciate the way her family is becoming ground zero for secrets, lies, and danger.
