Her identity may soon exposed to the Mexican cartel leader she's sleeping with because another operative, hoping for a big payoff, has informed his cartel contact that they've been infiltrated by a female officer. Kara's boyfriend whisks her abruptly to their compound in Puerto Penasco while they investigate whether it might be her. They have a huge meth shipment scheduled for LA and can't risk any tipoffs.

While Kara smartly plays it cool on her end, she knows that time is her enemy. Will Buddy's impulsive rescue attempt wind up killing them both?
