His wife Sheila should be home by now. Carver has put their eight-year-old daughter Kelly to bed, and now he's in his study, doing some bookkeeping for his contracting business. Carver tries Sheila's cell phone. For the fourth time, there's no answer. Finally, around midnight, he goes out to find her.
There's been an accident. Three people are dead...including Sheila.
Glen is bewildered. His wife drank only occasionally, and never to excess. But the fatal accident was clearly her fault, and now Glen is raising their daughter alone. Kelly is subject to ridicule from the other children, a pariah because of her mother's actions. When she is invited to a sleepover, Glen is happy to see her playing with other kids again. He leaves her with a cell phone, telling her to call him if she needs him.
She calls. She's upset. She wants to come home. She overheard something. She promised she wouldn't tell.
Glen's learns that his wife's death may not have been so accidental, and that she may have been embroiled in a secret business that is incredibly lucrative and incredibly deadly. He's in the middle of a violent conspiracy that has come to his small town and his quiet life, putting both himself and his daughter in the gravest danger. And he's about the learn one thing for certain: in a world where it's hard to tell the genuine article from a fake, the one real thing is death.
