Veterinarian Jim Briggs, a man haunted by his mother's dying wish, has dedicated his life to caring for Portland's strays. With his inheritance and a growing network of wealthy clients, he's turned his passion into a thriving mobile canine care service, "Have Paws—Will Travel."

But beneath the veneer of his philanthropic work, a sinister secret lurks. As six homeless people vanish without a trace, Briggs, the owner of a pet crematory with access to euthanasia drugs, finds himself at the center of a chilling investigation.

To complicate matters, the detective leading the case is Briggs' closest friend, and his girlfriend is a local cop. The lines between love, loyalty, and justice become dangerously blurred. Will Briggs' friends and family stand by him, or will their unwavering support crumble under the weight of the evidence? With the clock ticking and his freedom on the line, Briggs must race to clear his name before the truth catches up with him.
