It's Christmas time in Tucson, Arizona, but disgraced ex-cop Jack Grady isn't celebrating. His days are a struggle-he's just gotten his niece into rehab again, he's trying to take care of his aging mom, and simply survive. His nights are worse, with dreams haunted by something that happened years ago. He tells himself what he did was justified, but...Then a young boy stumbles into a bloody scene: three people shot in a locked room. Beloved local musician Nancy Foster lies dead on the floor. Her lover, Paul Ross, dies in the hospital. A kid who was delivering a pizza is critically wounded. The forensics scream murder-suicide, with Ross the shooter. But Ross's sister-in-law, Ally, isn't buying. She hated Ross, but she's out to clear his name for the sake of his two small children. And she's convinced that Grady is the right man for the job.The "case" is hopeless, but Ally's the best thing that's happened to Grady in years. Then the truth of Ross's life comes rushing at him. And he realizes to his horror that, while he's trying hard to look ahead, the past has a nasty way of sneaking up from behind.
