John Callen, an Orlando businessman, has flown to Pittsburgh to see an old Army buddy who lives in Bern, Ohio, a small town just two hours away. The two served in Iraq fifteen years earlier, and John hasn't seen his friend since Buster was shipped home after losing a leg from an IED.

The reunion starts off well, but turns into a nightmare when John, after shopping in town, returns to Buster's home to find his old friend dead from a fall down the stairs. However, John suspects that Buster's accident might not have happened the way it initially appeared. After some investigation, John discovers that his beloved friend has become the victim of a murder.
