Tyler Montague is, by anyone's estimation, successful: he's a young, handsome, and wealthy Wall Street investment banker living in Manhattan with his beautiful and ambitious girlfriend. So why is he so restless, so deeply discontented? When he finally admits that he's homesick for his birthplace-the mountains, the lake, and the serenity of southeastern Tennessee-Ty abandons his career, his girlfriend, and the frenzied atmosphere of New York and heads home.
In Tennessee, Ty rejoins his mother to manage the family marina and soon encounters his first love, the high school sweetheart he left behind. But the tranquility and contentment he craves is soon shattered. A close friend becomes one of the victims in a series of brutal murders.
Suspecting that the bullet may well have been meant for him and determined to clear his family's business of any involvement in the ongoing violence, Ty is compelled to help track the perpetrator of the heinous crimes.
As the sniper continues to create mayhem in the community, using the mountain's natural contours to evade capture, Ty must summon his skill, courage, and knowledge of the terrain to stop the killer, save his family's reputation, and right the wrongs that are plaguing his own heart.
