When Maggie awakes she's got more than a headache to worry about: her cover has been blown and for some reason Connor Buchanan is convinced she had something to do with his sisters disappearance. When Connor's partner is beaten and told to drop Maggie's friend's case, Connor's suspicion quickly turns to concern as he realizes that Maggie's life is in danger.
