Broke and disillusioned, novelist Wade Whitehouse takes a job as a janitor at a local university. But when a student's mysterious death sets the campus on edge, Wade can't resist the urge to investigate. His amateur sleuthing soon uncovers a web of deceit and corruption that goes all the way to the top. As Wade digs deeper, he's forced to confront his own demons and the bitter disappointments of his past. With his job, his relationships, and his sanity all hanging by a thread, Wade must decide how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth - and whether the price of redemption is one he's willing to pay.
