After spending nearly twenty-five years on death row in the Richmond State Penitentiary, Tommy Cleaves is finally executed for the murder of Kathleen Spencer.

Mitch Armstrong, a private investigator and former police detective, is one of the witnesses to the execution. For most of his life, Mitch has struggled with a secret demon. He was only twelve years old, and hiding in the shadows at the scene of the crime on the night Kathleen was killed. He knows something that nobody else knows or ever wanted to believe. Now, it's too late and there is nothing that anyone can do. Justice is lost forever. Or is it?

An unlikely source provides some blockbuster information to Mitch that causes him to reconnect with a long lost friend from his youth. The two of them, along with Mitch's wife, set out on a dangerous journey to uncover the hidden truth about Kathleen's murder. At the same time, the Old Man, the aging patriarch of a powerful crime family, is directing the plan to stop Mitch cold-stone cold.

Will Mitch be able to avenge Tommy's execution, and bring justice to a decades old murder? Or, will power and money be able to build a wall too big for him to scale? And what price will he have to pay on the road to discovery?
