With the sale of a company poised to revive his career, Ry Birk’s future is finally within reach—until the echoes of a decades-old plane crash threaten everything he’s worked to rebuild. Ry and his tight-knit circle of childhood friends have spent years guarding a shared past of guilt, silence, and moral compromise rooted in one fateful night. Now that past has come looking for them.

As the deal enters its final days, a cryptic warning from an old friend goes unanswered. Then comes gunfire—one shot misses Ry. Another nearly kills someone he loves. As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, Ry realizes that closing the sale and protecting the secret his friends have kept buried are no longer separate fights. Someone knows what happened that night—and they’re not finished.

The search for answers pulls Ry from the streets of Chicago to the shores of Lake Geneva to the Swiss-German border, where every truth he unearths exposes another lie.
