Parker returns to her hometown of Creation, New Mexico, for her father’s funeral and to settle affairs with his bar, Maria’s. She reconnects with Mike, a friend and manager of the bar, and begins investigating the mine, soon deducing that Harry’s death was no accident. At a bar, Parker has a confrontation with Jesse’s younger brother, Elvis, and later rescues a hardware store owner from thieves.

Parker then witnesses Elvis and his henchmen firing weapons and snooping around her family property. She calls Spider to investigate, and he discovers that Elvis is a weapons dealer on the dark web, supplying arms to terrorists. While reconnecting with Jesse, Parker meets his father, Ezekiel Swann, a senator running for reelection.

Following Harry’s funeral, Parker meets with Jesse and Ezekiel at their compound. During their meeting, Spider messages Parker, informing her that Elvis’ men are trespassing in Harry’s mine. She confronts them, leading to a violent encounter where her bar is set on fire, resulting in the death of one of the henchmen and Parker’s subsequent arrest.

As Parker navigates these events, she uncovers a web of corruption and deceit involving Elvis and potentially implicating others in her hometown.
