For lifelong friends surgeon Roddy Dolan and accountant Danny Burns, the nightmare began a year and a half ago when they agreed to become silent partners in a restaurant. With big money involved, greed easily affects people's sanity, which is what happened. Now Roddy and Danny are dealing with the repercussions of what transpired 10 months ago.

After both Roddy and Danny survive close calls from obvious hit-men, they question every aspect of their lives. They're sure mobsters are after them. With their lives and the lives of their families at stake, Roddy has to recall the survival skills he learned as an Army Ranger to evade pursuers. Roddy is hyper-alert to his surroundings as abject paranoia has him imaging death scenarios at every turn. While speculating about the ramifications of their actions has Danny so nervous, he wants to confess everything to the cops. But Roddy isn't going to let that happen.

There are so many questions to be answered. Could all of this be connected to the restaurant deal that went bad? Or could there be another reason someone wants them dead? Will all the lies and deceptions, as well as dealing with the stress of this life-and-death situation alter their close relationship? And is it really okay to do something bad for a good reason?
