After arresting the son of a powerful media mogul for murder, Barstow, California, police detective Will Spaulding becomes the subject of ferocious character-assassination. Seeking a fresh start, he enlists in the army. On his first day in uniform, Spaulding makes a grisly discovery in a boxcar full of Army boots: the dehydrated body of a dead woman. Army Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent Rudy Chemlin is shorthanded. Upon learning that the train's last stop was Barstow and that Spaulding was a detective there, he details him to help find the killer. In Barstow, they encounter a ferocious international gang determined to hide the reason for the woman's murder. Then Chelmin goes missing. Can Spaulding find him before he, too, dies a horrible death?
