Dylan Crooke's known men like Charlie all his life - men with eager smiles and guaranteed get-rich schemes. But Dylan leaves his dark past behind, or so he thinks, when he moves to a sleepy NC coastal town. He's hardly unpacked when he becomes entangled in a murder, art theft, a revolutionary invention, an angry thug, a heartbroken woman, and a too-nosy neighbor.

Only Charlie knows what's going on, but Charlie's gone. What's Dylan going to do?
