Luke and Tomas have gone undercover to infiltrate the cartel in hope of finding their friend Tula's long lost sister, Vera Gomez. But when they meet her as they arrive to the compound, something is off. The woman fits the description Tula has given them, she has the identifying tattoo but she isn't the slave Luke thought her to be.

Then he meets the woman that's called Gina.

She's been kept as a slave by Vera's step-brothers and they use her in any way possible. But Gina is a fighter - she likes to challenge whatever is thrown at her. That's one reason why these brothers have kept her around. It's also the reason why Luke has found himself asking for a week with her. She is strong-willed and fights Luke at every turn. She's had enough torment in the past few years to handle more with Luke.

During this week together, they both find themselves doing and feeling things they thought they would never again. Luke finds himself having to remember his own slave training to deal with the situation. This is assignment is not easy. Not even in Tomas' side.
