Hannah Whitfield is not only struggling with the death of her best friend, Angelina, but ever since her car accident and her loss of hearing, she's burying herself with pain killers and Johnny Walker. That is until Vinh Murphy shows up at her door as lost as she is -- and the unthinkable happens, which forces him to disappear again. But when the man responsible for Angelina's death turns up dead, Hannah and Vinh work together conducting their own investigation to find out if Vinh could have done such a murderous thing during one of his blackouts.
Vinh Murphy's world fell apart the day his wife, Angelina, was murdered right in front of him. The only person he can go to for help in making him feel real again is Hannah. Unfortunately, he makes a huge mistake during one of his crazy binges, so he disappears. After six months of running, Vinh returns to Hannah only to find out that the FBI is looking for him in connection with the death of the man responsible for killing his wife. Vinh doesn't remember whether he crossed the line or not due to his blackouts, but with help from Hannah and his friends, they will discover the truth.
