After years with the elite and secretive Regimental Reconnaissance Company, Graham Hayes walked away.

Not because he was broken. Because he was done. He has no idea what's next, but he knows it doesn't involve returning to Utah.

Utah has other plans.

Graham's estranged older brother, Colt, is accused of murder and disappears into the wilderness, he's pulled back to a place that feels more like a monument to his failures than a home.

The evidence against Colt is airtight. The man behind it is powerful, protected, and untouchable.

As Graham starts pulling threads, he uncovers a web of corruption that runs deep and puts everyone he still cares about in the crosshairs.

He’s fought wars in the deadliest places on earth. But this time, the battlefield is home and the fight is personal.

There’s no easy way back. But there’s a hell of a way out.
