Hetta Coffey is a sassy Texan with a snazzy yacht, and she's not afraid to use it As a self-employed engineering consultant with a penchant for oddball-read: shady-projects, she has a way of attracting trouble. With her floating home dry-docked for repairs in Mexico, Hetta needs a place to live and a job to pay the boatyard. Landing a project at a mining operation not far from her boat, Hetta finds herself on the tumultuous Arizona/Mexico border, where all hell is breaking loose-even before she gets there.
