Rick Hoffman has lost everything. His job as an investigative reporter is gone. His fiancée left him. His apartment is history. With nowhere else to go, he returns to his childhood home to renovate the decaying house where his father lived before a stroke landed him in a nursing home twenty years ago. Rick starts tearing down walls and discovers something that stops him cold. Millions of dollars are hidden inside the structure. The money could solve every problem in his life, but it opens a door to his father's secret past that Rick never knew existed. Each revelation about his silent, incapacitated father draws Rick deeper into danger. Deadly enemies emerge from the shadows, determined to keep buried secrets from surfacing. Rick finds himself running for his life from people who will kill to protect the truth. His only chance for survival lies in solving the mystery of who his father really was, but time is running out.
