Eastport, Maine. Ben Hudson is ready to build a future with his fiancée, Emma, and his adopted son, Dev. When a notorious bully targets the boy, the promise of a new beginning fractures. Returning to the Eastport police force, Ben soon discovers there is trouble that extends beyond a school bus. Something darker is moving through the coastal town, and it threatens far more than his family.

​

Hundreds of miles away in Philadelphia, newly released ex-convict Connor Rogan struggles against the undertow of his past while his powerful father tightens his grip on Connor's present. When Connor learns one of his victims has died, leaving behind a son, he clings to the idea that the boy could be his. His search for the truth leads him north–to Eastport. And to Dev Hudson.

​

But fatherhood isn’t determined by blood alone. To reach Dev, Connor must confront the person he used to be–and Ben Hudson, a man determined to protect his family at any cost.
