WHEN IT'S LIFE OR DEATH, WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
Teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when Mark LeDrew shows up at school with a bomb strapped to his chest, Richard immediately jumps into action. Thanks to his quick thinking, Richard averts a major tragedy and is hailed a hero.
But Richard's brief moment in the spotlight puts him in the sights of a deranged blackmailer with a score to settle. Events rapidly spiral out of control, drawing Richard into a tangled web of salacious accusations and deadly secrets.
As he tries to uncover the truth, Richard discovers that there's something dangerously wrong in the town. Everyone in his life seems to be hiding something, and trusting the wrong person could cost him everything he loves.
