His dreams prove accurate when he is ambushed and nearly killed on a lonely country road during an unusually heavy snowfall. As Cody recovers, Constable Ned Parker struggles to connect a seemingly unrelated series of murders. When Cody follows his main suspect across the Rio Grande into Mexico, Ned understands that to save his nephew, he will have to cross more than a river: he will have to cross over to the right side of wrong. As a boy, Reavis Z. Wortham hunted and fished the river bottoms near Chicota, Texas, the inspiration for his fictional Center Springs.
