The Shuffle

When Duffy helps a young city girl get treatment for her addiction in a Florida rehab, he thinks he did good, that is until he finds out she's caught up in the shuffle, a diabolical exploitation of addicted women. When she realizes she's not there to get help but to be forced into prostitution, kept on drugs, and coerced into financially exploiting the system for her captors, she splits. When a mass shooting destroys the rehab, and the evidence points to her, Duffy knows she's been set up. Adding the governor of the state with an eye toward the White House taking more than a usual interest in her, Duffy knows something is rotten. It is time to head South.
