Soren is the head of Missoula’s largest crime syndicate—and the target detective Hayes has pursued for years. At the docks, Soren deliberately grips Hayes’s gun, letting Hayes kill him, whispering, “Remember me.” After death, Soren reincarnates as Cade, top of his police academy class and Hayes’s new partner. Carrying memories of his past life, Cade openly pursues Hayes, and Hayes slowly falls for him. Cade discovers Calder, who killed him in the past life, is still alive and behind a new drug case. Cade goes undercover inside Calder’s organization, risking his life. Hayes tracks him down, and together they capture Calder at the docks. Cade wakes from the brink of death, and the two confirm their relationship. In the end, Hayes pins a Medal of Valor on Cade’s chest, and they embrace in the dawn light, starting anew as “Cade.”
