Nick Meyers is a single father and a doctoral student at Texas A&M University; Cassie McCormick has just begun pursuing her master's degree in hopes of healing from a splintered love life. Both carry wounds from the past they'd rather hide, but when their lives are thrown together, it is only a tenuous future that grips their attention. A brutal murder, child abuse allegations, and falsified data drag Cassie, Nick, and his young daughter into an investigation they can't seem to escape.

Is the tranquil life they yearn for only a thing of dreams?
