Description
Adam Price has a lot to lose: a beautiful family, a big house, a good job - a perfect life.
But then he meets a stranger in a bar and learns a shocking secret about his wife.
With the mirage of perfection shattered, Adam finds himself caught up in something far darker than his wife's deception.
And if he doesn't make the right moves, the conspiracy he's stumbled into will not only ruin lives - it will end them.
