Synopsis:
Anton Mackey is a
man with everything. At least, he seems to be on the surface. He has a rising
career as a private attorney, a lovely wife, a beautiful daughter; he and his
family live in an idyllic neighborhood that most people dream about. Sure,
there are troubles that plague this family, the same as any other, but all in
all things are looking up. Life is good, and the future is better.
Except Anton has a
past, too, and something has been looming, bearing down on him from that
history, just waiting for the chance to strike. Soon, everything will change,
and the life he’s struggled so hard to build will come crashing down around
him.
And the worst part
of it all: Anton Mackey has no one to blame but himself.
