Can he find redemption by being the best Chief of Police ever for the dusty town of Nyssa, Oregon? Will he be enough for Piper? Along the way temptations unsettle his mind about a permanent commitment to Piper. The climax comes in a barren ghost town near the grave of legendary Lewis and Clark guide Sacajawea’s only son, Jean Batiste Charbonneau. Adult situations.
