The story begins with Lenny's suspicion that someone is a threat to his young wife Lisa. Not knowing who it is or their intentions towards her encourages his belief that this man must be stopped. Lenny turns to the only person he can trust implicitly, his lifelong friend, Lisa's brother Peter. His belief that Lenny is overreacting is one thing; that his ambivalence to his brother-in-law's perceived threat might lead to some real harm to his sister is another. He must decide what should be done. What Lenny and Peter are unaware of is someone else's interest in finding the man who poses the threat. Ex Detective Chief Inspector John Semple is also working to discover the man in question. What ensues is a crossing and finally a convergence of paths which exposes much more than any of the searchers could envisage. How much trust is tested within a family and who must die before the hunt can finally expose the shocking truth that no one could have foreseen?
