A couple, a crowded restaurant, and a terrible event... After a tour in Afghanistan, a soldier's discharge bliss is fractured, a bliss that was an adrenaline high, but then fizzles to vanish. During a celebration with his girl friend in a waterfront restaurant, she fights off a police officer's sexual advances by striking the offender. The pair, Sebastian Boyle and Sheila Comfort, escape the scene to find themselves the focus of a police man hunt and a media splurge. Bent on expanding readership, the local news spearheads front page coverage of this and further events as they unfold. The officer dies, which is followed by a second officer's assault and then a third. A cavernous hole develops...
Following an unsuccessful endangering intrusion into Sebastian Boyle's home by the Diangello brothers, the brothers expand their tentacles into Emerald Ridge High School and threaten Sebastian, his friends and the school. An armed theft from the school office safe leads to grave threats. Sebastian begins to perceive that the brothers are not just after him but are part of a master plot of bombing and kidnapping. Working with Homeland Security and in secret sometimes, Sebastian and his cohorts begin to unravel the mystery. In over their heads in the crime scene, the outcome is not certain. Forced to seek a safe-house on Mt. Rainier, Sebastian finds that wildlife in the wilderness offers parallel challenges.
