What initially appears to be a low-level mob hit takes on new meaning when a high-ranking crime figure is found dead on Paradise Beach.

Apache hit man, Wilson "Crow" Cromartie returns to Paradise after ten years to take Amber Francisco back to her father in Florida; but before returning, he is supposed to kill her mother Fiona, per her father's orders. But Cromartie doesn't kill women. And now it's up to police chief Jesse Stone to provide all of them with protection.
