Max McKee thought he knew his father's dark side. Jonah McKee ruled Rimrock, Oregon with wealth and manipulation until his fatal car crash. The accident looks suspicious to Jonah's widow, who pleads with her children to investigate. Max discovers a letter among his father's papers that reveals the scope of Jonah's meddling in other people's lives. The list of victims includes Max's brother Jenner, a rodeo rider who learns a confession that transforms everything he believed about his past. While the McKee siblings struggle with these revelations about their father's schemes, their sister Casey faces mortal danger. An enemy with deep hatred for the family kidnaps the headstrong young woman.
