Following Theodora's trail, K.C. comes to an elegant winery in the sun-drenched Napa Valley. Despite the beauty all around her, K.C. senses something is going on; something far more sinister--and dangerous--than she can handle on her own. Reluctantly she joins forces with Sheriff Elliot Gavin, a man she hasn't seen since he broke off their engagement with no explanation three years earlier. The pair's suspicions about the award-winning Angels Crest Vineyards are confirmed when they discover the elegant winery is a cover for a growing cult.
