A lakeside paradise is shattered by past crimes rising from the ashes of an ancient village.
A small tribe of Cherokee Indians is swindled out of its heritage lands to make way for a massive reservoir system. An arsonist starts a fire that claims scores of lives, but spares an infant spirited away in the dark.
Years later these incendiary secrets pass through the remorseful lips of a dying man, sending Sin Austen on a frantic search for justice as mysterious killings multiply and he discovers that he could be next. A powerful company and teams of hired guns challenge his progress.
Betrayed by those closest to him, he attracts new allies in his quest for the truth. He is relentless and resourceful. He just may be unstoppable.
