I slutningen af 2. verdenskrig skete der noget, som ikke burde kunne lade sig gøre, da 17.500-20.000 fanger blev reddet ud af koncentrationslejrene i det nazistiske Tyskland. I midten af april 1945 har Folke Bernadotte fra svensk Røde Kors fået overbevist det nazistiske riges næstkommanderende, Heinrich Himmler om, at give lov til at norske og danske fanger kan blive hentet hjem på betingelse af, at de først skal samles i koncentrationslejren Neuengamme. Forberedelserne og forhandlingerne har været i gang længe, og de hvide busser har fået samlet størstedelen af de skandinaviske fanger i Neuengamme. Nu er alt endelig klar til, at de hvide busser kan køre fangerne ud af Tyskland - men den 18. april kommer der uventet en kontraordre fra Himmler, der pludselig afviser blankt en evakuering af de danske fanger.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
