When a wealthy couple dies in what appears to be a tragic car accident, Steve Levitan and his golden retriever Rochester are drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond the quiet streets of Stewart's Crossing.

The victims' twenty-year-old son, Daniel Farahani, seems more comfortable navigating a post-apocalyptic survival game than facing the devastating reality of his parents' deaths. As Steve helps the young man through his grief, disturbing questions begin to emerge.

Was the crash really an accident?

Or was someone determined to make sure the Farahanis never reached home?

With Rochester's instincts leading the way, Steve and Detective Rick Stemper uncover a conspiracy involving hidden identities, international intrigue, and secrets someone is willing to kill to protect.
