Following the death of his estranged brother Tim, Riley Greenham is forced to return to his hometown of Madden. Riley learns that Tim died as a result of a serious heart condition.

Carl Morris, the local cop, is convinced that Tim was involved with a recent murder and Tim's death may not have been from natural causes. Carl knows that Tim believed their parents' fatal car crash, more than fifteen years earlier, was not an accident.

The paths of two families are tragically entwined, and Riley's present and future life will rely on his wits and Carl's dogged determination to find the truth.
