Detective Damon McKay has had all he can take of the never-ending busy work at the Culver Police Department. When he became a detective, he imagined it would give him more purpose. However, nothing interesting ever happens in Culver. Damon decides he would rather end his life than continue facing the monotonous dread of the small town, but fate has other plans. The town is rocked with a murder that can not be explained by traditional methods, causing Damon's inner detective to spring back to life. As he does his best to focus on the case, he is forced to face his struggle with depression and alcoholism head on.

Additional deaths occur, causing public tensions to rise. Just as Damon and his partner Earl Davidson begin to lose hope at ever closing the case, they get a huge break... or so they thought. New evidence leads them to question everything they once thought was possible. Damon has to make a decision that will change his life forever, without letting the people he's worked with for eight years know. In a few short weeks he goes from wanting to end his life to being on the brink of an opportunity that could make him feel more alive than ever.
