But everything changes on a fateful day during a routine traffic stop as he miraculously survives a near-fatal shooting. The road to recovery is full of physical and mental hurdles and nearly a year after the incident, Tripp returns to work, making the solemn promise to be a better sheriff. But his vow is quickly tested as a prominent couple is mysteriously attacked in their own home by an enigmatic assailant.
