Danny Boy Lorca ist das Entsetzen ins Gesicht geschrieben, als er sich ins Büro von Sheri Hackberry Holland schleppt. In der Wüste nahe der texanisch-mexikanischen Grenze wurde er Zeuge eines brutalen Mordes. Von einem zweiten Gefangenen fehlt jede Spur. Hackberry Holland hat erneut alle Hände voll zu tun, um für Gerechtigkeit zu sorgen.

Auf den Hinweis eines anonymen Anrufers hin, gräbt Sheriff Hackberry Holland hinter einer verlassenen Kirche die Leichen von neun Frauen aus, notdürftig mit einem Bulldozer plattgewalzt.

Bei der Suche nach dem Anrufer gerät Holland mit Isaac Clawson von der Einwanderungs- und Zollfahndungsbehörde ICE aneinander. Nach dem Mord an seiner Tochter ist er auf seinem eigenen Rachefeldzug.
