  Human bones are showing up in various concrete structures, all stemming from a site that has been shut down for years. Where exactly are they coming from? 
  Olmsly Morrow thinks it’s more than just foul play by humans, so he calls on Trenna Cross and Reece Kamrose, although Reece has no idea why he’s been tapped for a super-secret government job. He’s just a farmer. Right, and Trenna is just an actress as well. 
  In truth, Trenna is a coh, having trained all her life to fight Breachers. But Reece is not; he has no “abilities.” So why was he called and partnered up with Trenna? Whatever the reason, they’re committed to solving the murders of the gang members, and ridding San Antonio of its otherworldly infestation. 
  Through it all, Trenna and Reece know there’s an undeniable connection, and how nice would it be to be with someone who truly knows who and what she is? But a relationship could never last between the two, right? They’re too far away, too different from each other…or are they?
