She teams up with Jaz's fiery fiancée, Ana Rosa Marquez, a spirited Columbian with a tenacious spirit. Along with Boomer, her loyal canine companion, the duo embarks on a relentless quest up the coast to the mysterious town of Santa Carla.
As they navigate the treacherous waters of deception and deal with uncooperative law enforcement, they encounter the enigmatic Carter Phillips, a guarded property caretaker whose good looks and hidden motives add to the intrigue. With time running out and trust in short supply, Danni and Ana must rely on their growing bond and unwavering determination to rescue Jaz before it's too late.
