Veteran agent Geena Fox, scarred by the loss of her secret lover during the battle that supposedly ended Jewel’s reign, is reluctantly paired with rookie operative Leigh Walker and tries to sideline her with a futile missing-person assignment. Leigh’s unexpected discovery intersects with four enigmatic older women in a Missouri retirement home, all sharing the surname Power and attracting unwanted scrutiny. As Geena and Leigh investigate the Powers’ true identities, they uncover secrets that challenge official history, threaten the fragile peace, and force them to reconsider what heroism, loyalty, and second chances can look like for queer women who thought their best days were behind them.
