Eddie Holland left the FBI after ten years in counter terrorism, exhausted and ready for a change. After returning home to Austin, Texas, he starts taking private detective jobs. He's hired to find Peter Miller, a network security expert who works for a government contracting company. But Eddie's search uncovers much more than a missing man and finds his family in danger.
