Scarred by my past, life has carved a whole new man out of me. A brutal tour in Afghanistan has caused me to withdraw from those closest to me, but my vow to remain on the outskirts of life is suddenly challenged by single mom, Maisie Wilson.

When I inadvertently stumble upon the secret she's been keeping - a secret that, if exposed, could put her and her young son in jeopardy - things suddenly get a whole lot more complicated.

I may not get the chance to find out because my past is about to catch up with me in a way no one could have foreseen...
