Northwest Arkansas is home to a budding metropolitan area. From Bentonville to Siloam Springs to Fayetteville, the region is now home to about half a million people. And with big-city growth comes big-city problems.

When the wife and daughter of a Branson real estate mogul go missing in Pea Ridge, he turns to his old friend Detective Booger McClain to track them down. McClain and his wife, Rose, soon find themselves entrenched in a fresh world of lust, drugs, money, and corruption as they get closer to discovering the truth in the Natural State. All they need is some help from the working girls of Shadow Valley Trailer Park. The answers are all around the I-49 corridor, but will the detectives know where to look in time?
