When materials engineer Zoey Butler lands her dream job at Future State Energy, she believes her research will contribute to the next big headline in renewable energy. Unfortunately for her, she’s right. While Zoey is working on her latest experiment, FBI Special Agent Alexis Thompson and her K-9 partner, Waffle, lead a raid at Future State and arrest the head of the development for fraud. Zoey works with the FBI to find answers in the aftermath, but she soon finds herself jobless and unemployable. Desperate and out of options, she reaches out to Alexis, the one person who knows that Zoey was duped like everyone else.

Liam Graham is an FBI special agent and instructor at the Riverbend K-9 Academy. When Alexis brings in a new recruit with an unusual background, Liam pairs her up with Tasha, a dog in need of a handler to stay in their competitive program. Zoey is thrilled to put her past behind her and give the mischievous rescue dog her own second chance. However, shortly after she arrives, the FBI realizes that the Future State case is far from closed. And that Zoey may be the key to solving it.

Zoey offers to go back to Future State to help the FBI to end things once and for all. Only this time, she’ll have Liam and Tasha for backup. However, the problems at Future State are more explosive than any of them suspect.
