But no longer sure of his wife's love, he begins an affair, the first in their ten-year marriage. As Riley and his would-be lover wait on the dock in Newport Harbor for the launch to his boat, a young man nearby is attacked by a brutal thug. When Riley intervenes, he finds himself inextricably drawn into a chain of events that will change his life forever; he finds himself, suddenly, in dangerous waters.
Following a chilling, bewildering trail of deception and murder, he confronts the devastation brought about by his own betrayal and forms a terrible plan for justice.
