Hazel Nash opens her eyes in a hospital bed with no memory of who she is. The doctors tell her she survived a car crash that killed her father Jack Nash, host of the conspiracy television show The House of Secrets. Her brother was injured too. Then an FBI agent arrives asking questions about her father and a dead man found with a rare book stuffed inside his chest. The book once belonged to Benedict Arnold. Back home, Hazel discovers guns she cannot remember buying and scars on her face from fights she cannot recall. Her father once told her stories about this same Benedict Arnold book hidden in a corpse, but she thought they were just tales. As Hazel investigates the murder, she uncovers disturbing truths about her father's secret government work and her own violent past. The deeper she digs, the less she recognizes the person she used to be. She must solve this mystery to discover who killed the man and who she really is.
