You’re always conscious of wanting to tell a good, ripping story, and I think that has to drive everything else. It dictates how much room you have at any given time to spend on explication.

(Urry, 2015)When rumors of a game-changing water source surface in drought-ravaged Phoenix, Angel is sent to investigate. There he encounters Lucy Monroe, a hardened journalist with no love for Vegas and every reason to hate Angel, and Maria Villarosa, a young Texas refugee who survives by her wits and street smarts in a city that despises everything she represents.
