When Bodee and other members leave and form the HIGHWAY ROGUES MC, Seth wages war against them, instigating a deadly shootout. Max struggles to protect her children from the club politics and violent disputes. For his involvement in the shootout, Hemi is arrested during their wedding and is put in jail along with Dazzle and the other members from both clubs. Max is determined to keep her family together as she stands to lose everything after being betrayed by the very people she believed she could trust. Inside the male dominated and alluring world of the Outlaw Motorcycle Club, families do exist, and it is they who pay the ultimate price when things go wrong. When men, be they politicians, religious leaders or outlaw bikers, confuse reality and fantasy, the real victims of their wars are the innocent, and the ones they hurt the most are the ones they themselves profess to love the best. Held together by camaraderie, the love of a Harley Davidson, and the freedom of the ride, universally the OMC is built on rules of duty, trust, honour and loyalty. When those rules are broken, Max knows that she is "IN BAD COMPANY".
