As an executive at a small corporation in moss-draped Verona, Georgia, he relishes his role as breadwinner, protector and leader of his family -- his adoring wife and two beautiful children.

But his good life shatters when his emerging alcohol abuse unleashes a family crisis and sends his son to the hospital Deeply frightened, he moves to their weekend cottage to confront his demons. He cannot return home until he is certain his wife and children have no reason to fear him.

But busybodies at Troy's workplace assume he left home because his marriage is in trouble. Brooke Emerson, new to the company and romantically obsessed with Troy, is encouraged by the assumption and attempts to seduce him, setting in motion a chain of events with harrowing consequences for Troy and his family.
