Ben Bradshaw is involved in a car accident. His wife, eight months pregnant, doesn't make it.
Crouched in the middle of the same road, Jack Fitz looks up to see the wreckage and his five-year-old sister's body. Jack's life has changed forever. He's only fifteen, but in a few years' time he'll be able to track down his sister's killer and seek his revenge.
Six years later, the two are now best friends. Ben is hooked on painkillers and alcohol. Jack is fuelled by a ticking rage, and thoughts of revenge.
And Jack has still never told Ben who he is. Somehow, he never quite got round to it.
