Transplanted Canadian Doug Loggins is the new principal at Palm
Oasis High School-in a small desert community located in
California's Colorado Desert. A local tribe, the Napoc Band of
Whitewater Indians, flaunting state law, open a gaming "Casino."
Doug must deal with ancient squabbles, local politics, and disputes
about the meaning of sovereignty in addition to his own
administrative duties.
But these ordeals are nothing compared to the situation he faces
when one of his students, Simone Garcia, turns up dead. Loggins and
authorities suspect a drug related death, but in pursuing justice
they butt heads with the leader of the Napoc nation, Reginald
"Cisco" Tramhurst, a powerful figure who was instrumental in
getting the "Casino" built on Indian land.
When Loggins joins forces with the beautiful Anna Carpenter, a
recently divorced Palm Oasis prosecuting attorney, he's surprised
at their instant attraction. But the closer they come to the
chilling truth surrounding Simone's death, the more their newly
burgeoning relationship is threatened. In chasing the links to
Simone's death, Doug encounters a life threatening attack, an
entrepreneur of questionable character, a frequently contumacious
peace officer, a double named attorney and the true survivor,
Brutus. In a desperate chase, Doug takes to the air to find a
killer and save a life.
