Life was coming back together for Ben Princi.

He's gotten sober and reinvented himself as a country songwriter of all things. Juggling his career, his vintage cars, and a pushy manager, Ben is forced out of his self-imposed personal exile when a tornado slams through his hometown, uncovering a hideous crime.

He's testing the waters with a potential romance with the lead investigator of the case, not realizing his past is linked more closely with the crime than he could ever imagine.
