Following an unexpected early retirement, former detective Roosevelt (Rosie) Carter is in Florida, soaking up the sun and playing as much ice hockey as his heart desires. But when a murder strikes close to home, the cops haul him in as their number one suspect. Left with two options -- take his chances with the legal system or find the real killer -- Rosie decides his only choice is to use his investigative skills to clear his name. From the start, his investigation reveals some uncomfortable truths. He thought he knew the victim well. He was mistaken. Many had reason to hold a grudge: An embittered alcoholic. An ex-junkie. A former lover. Rosie's journey to find the truth leads him inside Florida's alligator industry and into mortal danger. Will he catch the true killer or die trying?
