When he goes to pursue those responsible, he is told to stand down. Now he’s faced with the toughest decision of his life; he can either disobey orders and risk his career, or live knowing that he allowed the murderers of his best friend to go unpunished.

    Ten years later, he's finally going to find out why. Ever since he staggered out of the darkness into a crowd of police and press reporters, Daryl Elliot has been afraid of something he has absolutely no memory of.
