Luther Spurlock, a crusty career criminal from South Georgia, is known in the criminal community as "the Cracker," a nickname he acquired as a safe cracker and tunneling expert. Recently paroled, he is approached to tunnel into a bank in Savannah, Georgia. As preparations get underway, Special Agent Hank Monroe with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation soon stumbles onto their plan. Thus begins a cat-and-mouse game between the GBI and Spurlock's gang that grows personal when Monroe learns that one of the men is a deranged former Army Ranger with whom he served years back. At the same time, Spurlock's life is further complicated by the arrival of a grown daughter he unknowingly fathered three decades before with the only woman he ever loved. While she causes him to ponder his decisions in his aging, stoic life she also introduces him to a new experience - the love between a father and daughter.

A young lady's disappearance reveals a decade-old ploy that threatens to shake the very foundations of a small Southern town. Hank Monroe is an ex-Army Ranger, fresh out of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's New Agents Class, and his education is just beginning. An outsider to the inner workings and traditions of the deep South, Hank gets more than he bargained for in his first season on the job. Aided by a mysterious, angelic caller, Hank is inspired to delve into the underbelly of deceit and corruption that swirls ominously below the surface of a close-knit community. He seeks the truth that lies hidden behind the façade and pretense of the town's elite, the truth some will do anything to hide. Hank Monroe will soon learn, in his first growing season as an agent, that all is not what it seems to be-in crime and in love-and that when it comes to murder, there are no winners.
