Grieving father Harry Manning is determined to expose the dark secrets behind the party that cost his son his life. The courts ruled it an accident, but Harry is certain that Nathan Webb is responsible for Freddie's death, and he will do anything to prove it.

As Harry seeks revenge, he finds an unlikely ally in Nathan’s wife, Erin. Nobody knows better than Erin Webb just how violent Nathan can be, but her own private torment compels her to help Harry. Even when it means putting both their lives on the line.

Together, can they uncover the truth behind that deadly game…
