This romance mystery takes place along the banks of the Mississippi River. Lucy DelRose, commercial fisherwoman, ex-husband, washes out from under her marina - dead. Lucy is faced with the past that she has tried to block for seven years - afraid for her son's life.

Nasty drug dealers begin chasing Lucy. Alligators try to eat her. She gets blown sky high. This gutsy southern woman kicks ass to protect her family from danger.

Rene Caron, a half-breed Indian, becomes Lucy's protector, fighting her independent nature in a male driven environment to make her his own.
