McAlister Johnson has built a reputation as a respected criminal defense attorney in Greenville, South Carolina. But beneath the tailored suits and courtroom victories lies a man haunted by his own past, including a prison sentence served as a young man. When a disastrous encounter ends in bloodshed, McAlister finds himself trapped not only in the physical aftermath of his actions but also in a web of paranoia, fractured memories, and guilt. As flashbacks unravel his marriage, his secrets, and his sanity, McAlister must confront a terrifying question: How far will a man go when he no longer recognizes himself?<\/p>\n
