Adam Austin hasn't spoken to his brother in years. When
they were teenagers, their sister was abducted and
murdered, and their devastated family never recovered. Now
Adam keeps to himself, scraping by as a bail bondsman,
working so close to the town's criminal fringes that he
sometimes seems a part of them.
Kent Austin is the beloved coach of the local high school
football team, a religious man and hero in the community.
After years of near misses, Kent's team has a shot at the
state championship, a welcome point of pride in a town that
has had its share of hardships.
Just before playoffs begin, the town and the team are
thrown into shock when horrifically, impossibly, another
teenage girl is found murdered. When details emerge that
connect the crime to the Austin brothers, the two are
forced to unite to stop a killer - and to confront their
buried rage and grief before history repeats itself again.
