With the Greek and his gang-Tao Mann, his bartender, and Jimmy Tennyson, returned from the war in Vietnam-she hopes she can finally find stability as she learns about trust and a different kind of family.

But when outside forces put her life in the crosshairs, and stakes rise, will Jayne find she is on her own once again?
