Defense Attorney Isis Ferrelli wouldn't have believed it if she weren't holding the purchase agreement in her hands. Point Shirley residents Raymond Lockhart and Jedemiah Briggs are purchasing a survivalist co-op. Isis must spend her vacation protecting her neighbors from a real estate scam. But she quickly uncovers there's more going on at the Reebok Refuge Silo.

The cook may have appeared harmless...until he destroys food provisions. The chief of communications learns he's been cheated on the price of his unit and plunges the compound into radio silence. And the sickly engineer may have discovered who tainted his lunch with botulism.

In the middle of chaos, Isis must find a devious security guard who has the code to unlock the silo's doors. But when she finds him, he isn't talking. Well-prepped sabotage has escalated to murder.
