The investigation into the drugs flowing through Cincinnati has revealed a controlling organization operating out of Philly with satellite operations in Columbus and Cincinnati. Alex an aggressive investigator in the Cincinnati police department has a reputation for solving her cases. She is referred to a "Cincinnati's Black Annie Oakley", for her marksmanship. She has her eye set on getting the "bad guy". She has a great partner that she knows will always have her back.

On an investigation excursion, they were run of the road and captured. Both she and Trey have hoods put over their heads and are restrained. Soon after she is tied to a chair and has to watch as Trey is beaten by three thugs that hit and kick him.

When the thugs beating on Trey are called out of the barn, Alex breaks free and helps Trey, who is barely able to move, out the back of the old barn and into the forest. She places Trey into a leaf covered tree root depression of a blown over tree.

She decides that she will take the initiative and attack the thugs. She has only the broken handle of the chair used to restrain her.

She goes to the edge of the forest as she hears the thugs coming. She decides her attack approach is to spread them apart by running in a circular path back to the entrance of the barn. She hopes to spread them and take them on one at a time.

Her success surprises her and it saves Trey's life.

Alex now is more determined than ever to capture the boss of the thugs that almost beat Trey to death. She gets Johnnie to investigate the men by the names she had overheard. His search identifies two of the men.

Their boss operates out of Philadelphia. Johnnie insists that he accompany Alex on her quest to capture the boss.

Posing as a cleaning lady she manages to get past the guards and get to the boss's office.

During the confrontation with the boss, she kill's the thug guarding him. The boss makes his escape.

She follows and in a second confrontation, where he pulls a gun to shoot her, she takes him out.

She feels that what is left is to find the mole that she is sure is in the Cincinnati police department.

Little does she know that the body count of five that she has compiled, will blossom to more than fifteen in the wake of her continued investigation that is connected to one of the most powerful Mexican drug cartels. She becomes the "Black Angel" from the North as she takes on the Cartel Leader.
