Miles Kendrick is a federal witness hiding from the mob. He is haunted by the horrifying memories of his best friend's death. While helping his psychiatrist with a mysterious favour, Miles stumbles into a murder - and an illegal medical research program that could free him, and millions of others with post-traumatic stress disorder, from crippling fears. Utterly in the wrong place at the wrong time, Miles ends up in the path of Dennis Groote, an ex-FBI agent, now turned hit man. Groote is determined to find a cure for his traumatised daughter - and equally determined to gain control of a secret drug formula worth billions on the open market. A formula that he believes Miles possesses.

Pursued by both Groote and government agents, Miles runs for his life. He draws on his old skills as a mobster's spy to survive a deadly duel of strike and counter-strike with the unrelenting and brutal Groote. Miles finds two unlikely allies: a mentally broken ex-soldier and a reclusive woman whose life was destroyed by violence. To save them all - and with one last chance to be the man he once was - Miles takes the battle back to the powerful, murderous forces who want to silence this one troubled man before he can get his life back...
