Detective Napoleon "Nap" Dumas carries the weight of senior year tragedy. His twin brother Leo and Leo's girlfriend Diana died on railroad tracks. Maura, the woman he loved, vanished without a word. Fifteen years later, Nap works cases in suburban New Jersey while privately searching for answers about both losses. Then Maura's fingerprints surface in a murder suspect's rental car. This discovery pulls Nap into an investigation that reaches back to their shared past. He uncovers connections to an abandoned military base from their childhood. Each revelation exposes new deceptions among people he trusted. The truth about Leo and Diana's deaths proves far more disturbing than accident or suicide. Nap must confront how little he understood about his brother, his friends, and the woman who disappeared from his life.
