GOING HOME can trigger pleasant memories and intimidating recollections. For Tom Fedder it produces only dread. For decades he has avoided any reason to revisit Tanner. Now a last visit is necessary. He plans an under-the-radar return to arrange the sale of his mother's home, collect a few of her things, and make his escape to the relative safety of Highland City. On his own he could have done that. But in the company of his Native-American step-son, Rick, those carefully-laid plans are doomed from the beginning. Once Rick makes contacts with the family his father has never mentioned, the old man's "hurry up and leave" plans begin to unravel. Overnight, GOING HOME becomes more complicated than ever.
