One deal. One clue. Eternal reckoning.

In Montgomery, Massachusetts, illusions shatter-and one desperate deal could cost everything.

Taylor Dunkin, ex-star quarterback, battles to escape his opioid-fueled nightmare, but a shadowy pact puts his life and his family's safety on the brink. As cryptic clues surface, feuding brothers Jordan and Marc must unite to unravel the mystery of Taylor's disappearance-uncovering secrets that could redefine their bonds forever.

Meanwhile, Cathy Kagelli, fresh off grounding, dives into her boyfriend Jason's hidden world of drugs, hatching a risky plan to pull him back ... at the potential cost of her own soul.

Who will emerge from the deception unscathed?
