Agent Bennett Mills is a member of a special security detail charged with the protection of a prominent Arizona senator...until the senator is assassinated. With the suspected assassin having taken his own life it appears to be an open and shut case, but something doesn't sit well with Agent Mills. While waiting for reassignment, he takes some vacation time making a less than enthusiastic trip home to see his family. A chance meeting leads Mills on the trail of a madman that is often fraught with more questions than answers. Who can be trusted? Every step forward leads to another dead end.
